"The show turns up both the volume and the temperature on the typical Christmas revue."

"Rock ‘n Roll Yule is joyously fun. You MUST experience this show. It is for all the family and is a great mixture of the old and the new songs. Take your kids, grandkids, spouse, relatives, significant other, parents, or total strangers. BUT GO. It will make you smile and put you in the right mood for Christmas and the entire holiday season." - Bert Wakeley
Showtimes:
Rock N’ Roll Yule will take you on a fun-filled, rocking trip through the joys of contemporary Christmas music, as well as revisiting some of your traditional rock ‘n roll favorites. We’ve got Jingle Bell Rock coming at you; Run, Run Rudolph will have you dancing in the aisles; and we’re dropping Merry Christmas, Darling onto our holiday turntable! For those that are looking for some of the Christmas classics, we’re putting some new twists on such standards as Do You Hear What I Hear?, The Christmas Song, and O, Holy Night. However, the biggest thrill for our audiences will be discovering some new songs that will certainly live on long after the show! A perfect night of music for everyone who wants to get into that Holiday groove!
