Thursday, Dec. 1; Friday, Dec. 2; and Sunday, Dec 4

A Blue Suede Christmas finds the Vocal Majority’s annual holiday extravaganza in a Vegas mood. For the first act, at least, the show is all about the glitzy entertainment capital, complete with “appearances” from famous Vegas icons. The second act features a more traditional program, with beloved Christmas songs that will put you in the spirit. See the show at the Eisemann Center, just across the plaza from the Red Line’s Galatyn Park Station.

Friday, Dec. 2

Jesus Christ Superstar is an iconic rock opera and one of the first outings for the celebrated pair of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

Catch the legendary musical through Dec. 11 at WaterTower Theatre, a short walk from Addison Transit Center, served by numerous bus routes.

The Beauty and the Beast centers around Belle, who is a young woman, and – well – the Beast, who is a beast. Except that he’s really a prince. Can he be transformed back again? Catch the musical version of the Disney classic at The Firehouse Theatre through Dec. 18. The venue is a short walk from the Green Line’s Farmers Branch Station.

Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents Christmas Pops keeps the tradition going with holiday favorites and singalong carols.
