JUNIOR CLAUS Comes To Burnsville PAC 12/10-27

When Santa breaks a toe, young Junior Claus takes the big sleigh reins. Can Junior make the greatest delivery in the world?

"JUNIOR CLAUS" arrives direct from New York City to the Burnsville Performing Arts Center for a limited, exclusive run December 10-27, 2009.

Featuring great music and comedy, "JUNIOR CLAUS" is the new family spectacular with a jolly twist on everyone's favorite holiday characters. The inventive tale opens at the North Pole, days before Christmas, when Santa breaks a toe and young Junior must quickly master the art of climbing down chimneys, driving reindeer, reading GPS in a blizzard, and everything else that goes into the greatest delivery in the world. "JUNIOR CLAUS" 'tis the reason for Twin Cities families to see the stage event of the season!

"JUNIOR CLAUS" is currently under development in the very same New York studios where Broadway's biggest shows rehearse. Before going nationwide, a special Twin Cities premiere gives the 600,000+ residents living south of the Minnesota river an exclusive gift for the 2009 holiday season.

The beautiful Burnsville PAC was built to offer families in the Twin Cities South Metro a way to see major theatrical events. "JUNIOR CLAUS" delivers on that promise, as the first Broadway-caliber holiday show to play the new state-of-the-art venue.

"This national show is an excellent fit for the Performing Arts Center and Burnsville overall," comments Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz. "There's no doubt that thousands of families from all around the region will enjoy the performance and perhaps even start a new family tradition," Mayor Kautz adds.

"This is a special event, affordable to hardworking families who don't have the financial advantage to travel to New York," says Sam Graber, one of the Executive Producers.

"JUNIOR CLAUS" tickets are $28 for adults, $18 youth & seniors. Available through Ticketmaster at 800-982-2787 starting September 15th. 18 performances are scheduled Thursday-Sunday only starting December 10 and closing on December 27, 2009.
