On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, December 3-5,
at the Civic Center Music Hall, Chesapeake Energy presents the OKC Philharmonic's annual Christmas show:
A Very Merry Pops, featuring Broadway stars and favorites Judy McLane and Erick Devine.
Maestro Joel Levine and director Lyn Cramer have assembled a spectacular Broadway-style revue with holiday treats for the entire family including
I'll Be Home for Christmas,
Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and
The First Noel plus the vocal talents of the OKC Philharmonic Chorale led by chorus master Vince Leseney. Children definitely won't want to miss the amazing
Santa-tizer; a magical machine that turns elves into dancing Santas.
A Very Merry Pops shines with gorgeous arrangements of Christmas classics for full orchestra, plus fully staged production numbers with dazzling dancing, puppetry, and comedy. Don't miss the talented Oklahoma native and OU Musical Theatre Major Alicia Clark as this year's featured tap dancer.
