With a setlist including Driving Home for Christmas, White Christmas, Oh Holy Night, A Winter’s Tale, Silent Night and of course The Fairytale of New York, the show is guaranteed to fill the audience with Christmas cheer. 

The popularity of the show means that two casts (made up of only 11 performers) will be performing simultaneously as the tour crosses the UK.

According to the show's creator, Ged Graham, the concept of Fairytale of New York was conceived when he was considering what to do with his kids when they had outgrown the classic pantomimes. 

Fairytale of New York will be performed at the Ipswich Regent on December 7, with tickets available to purchase on the theatre's website.
