Budding young actors take to the stage to save Christmas

Connor Cox, Buddy Walker, Luke Walker, Louise Likeman, Rebecca Stevenson and Megan Neill are all joining the festive cast for the new magical adventure, which runs at the Newtownabbey theatre until December 13.

The villagers and the Tinsels in Tinseltown work together to save their way of life, the child from the real world, and Christmas itself.

With the most precious holiday in danger, will Santa Claus the Fourth be forced to return to Tinseltown to save everything the villagers hold dear?

Tinseltown is the name of a top-secret community established centuries ago by Santa Claus the First, where everything that is needed for Christmas is designed and made.

The good villagers of Tinseltown live alongside a long-forgotten race of magical creatures, the Tinsels, and together they work to create everything the world needs for Christmas –all of which are then silently delivered through the dark forest to the real world in time for the Christmas celebrations.

But when a child from the real world becomes lost in the forest, and finds a long-hidden pathway, he stumbles into the heart of the secret village – and the people of Tinseltown are suddenly thrown into chaos.

There is one resident of Tinseltown who takes great interest in this small visitor, and sees the perfect opportunity to bring the world’s Christmas celebrations grinding to a halt once and for all.

Tinseltown is an original musical adventure full of festive fun and hilarious characters, boasting an original score of unforgettable new songs – a magical journey through a winter story-land inspired by seasonal classics like The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Grinch, and The Polar Express, from the award-winning writer of the hit stage musicals Hunchback, Hansel & Grettel, Pinocchio, Alice The Musical, Molly Wobbly, and The Tale of the Beauty and The Tail of the Beast. A live action Christmas treat for all ages that’s not to be missed.
