Die Hard Candy Christmas
Our all-new 2024 holiday show “Die Hard Candy Christmas” runs Friday and Saturday nights, through Saturday, December 28th (plus a special weeknight show Monday, December 23rd).
All North Pole Detective John McCandycane wants to do is reconcile with his estranged wife, singing sensation Holly Dolly Partridge Innapeartree. Unfortunately, it’s his bad luck to arrive on Christmas Eve just as a band of crazed misfit toys takes over Santa’s brand-new toy workshop, the 35-story high-rise, Santatomi Plaza.
Now workers have been bumped off, elves have been taken hostage, and Santa himself has been kidnapped! Could the whole attack be an inside job? Or a twisted prank from a demented Jokester? McCandycane is alone, tired—and the only chance anyone has got—but he must single-handedly solve the murders, stop the misfit toys, find the inside contact (or contacts), make up with his wife—and maybe, just maybe—save the Holidays!
Join John McCandycane as he crawls through air ducts, elevator shafts, and forests of peppermint sticks to face off against the misfit toys’ diabolical leader, the vaguely European mastermind Hans Uber, in the hilarious holiday show “Die Hard Candy Christmas!”
New Year’s Eve Special Menu
Join us for a special six-course New Year’s Eve Menu, party favors and a champagne toast, on Tuesday, December 31. Enjoy a choice of each of premium hors d’oeuvres, hot soup, crisp salad, gourmet entree and decadent dessert with a glass of champagne, along with an intermezzo course of champagne sorbet. The complete dinner costs $99.95 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and seatings are available from 5-9 p.m.
