Austin's rock-n-soul holiday spectacle, Rockin' Christmas Party, celebrates a sweet sixteen years reigning as one of our town's longest-running traditions! Bigger, brighter and merrier than ever, our award-winning cast sure knows how to put the Christmas spirit in your heart--and your booty--as they shake, rattle and roll down Santa Claus Lane! Featuring some of ZACH's all-time greatest vocalists, this year's edition has a brand new set design. It's great fun for the whole family, but get your tickets early because seats go fast for this wildly popular holiday shindig. We are now booking holiday parties, so run, run Rudolph!

      This is some of the best acting, singing, choreography, staging, costuming, casting, music, etc., (all in one place) we have seen in some time. It felt as though we were part of a wonderful journey.... Expand

      This is some of the best acting, singing, choreography, staging, costuming, casting, music, etc., (all in one place) we have seen in some time. It felt as though we were part of a wonderful journey. Each cast member, along with the band, gave us their best, and we were consequently blessed with this added Christmas gift of great talent working as a perfect team! I, and my family, thank everyone involved with this great show and as four of us are involved in Theater, TV and/ or Film we respectfully bow in your direction and thank you for showing the world why any of us do this! God Bless. Collapse

      So, you think the 16th version of the Zach’s “Rockin’ Christmas Party” is a “been-there, done-that” kind of event? Think again. Producing Artistic Director Dave Steakley and Managing Director Elizbeth Challener, are serving up a fresh version of this Austin-popular chestnut – from music, to staging, to set.. The set (by Michael Raiford) on the Kleberg stage sparkles like a winter wonderland cut-out, or, as Dave says, a scene from a pop-up book. Add the light show (by Jason Amato), the snow flakes, some surprising props – no give-away here -- the familiar rhythms and rocking good vocalists and the really tight band, and it is another winner for this winter. Make time for a break from shopping and decorating and feasting for two hours of first class frivolity and fun. The eight-member cast – and half are new -- will provide a mood-altering experience that will have you humming or singing a lot of your fave standards – spiritual, country, Christmas – long after you (more) Collapse

      The subtitle for "Rockin' Christmas Party" on the Kleberg Stage at the Zach Theatre says it all: "The Rock-n-Soul FAMILY Musical." If you have a friend or family member bah-humbugging the season, then take him/her to this fun, wonderful show. Even if you've seen it, this 16th seasonal version might even chase away some of your own yuletide blues. Yes, there is a sing-along portion, and there is audience participation -- a limbo party before the intermission -- a Caribbean Christmas? But you get a mix of secular AND religious music as the six vocalists-actors are -- well, the well-behaved -- allowed to fulfill their musical fantasies -- cool lounge singer to Nashville songtress. Yes, you'll grimace at the bodacious costumes -- and the beehive hairdos are back in glorious technicolor matching the new staging and eye-popping sets and lighting. Judy R. Arnold, Laura Benedict, Bernard Davis (new to cast), Felicia Dinwiddie, Tiffany Mann (new)and Rebecca Schoolar deliver (more) Collapse
