South Florida’s favorite holiday tradition is back! Mouse King: The Untold Story of The Nutcracker, the family-favorite musical created by Sesame Street veteran Noel MacNeal and award-winning composer Jim Camacho, returns to the Mandelstam Theater this December with an all-new edition of the magically reimagined Nutcracker story… told from the other side of the battle.
Now in its twelfth year, “Mouse King” invites audiences to step into a whimsical world where the mice take center stage and the Nutcracker isn’t quite the hero he’s been made out to be. Packed with heart, humor, and holiday wonder, the musical brings together a vibrant cast of young Miami performers, spectacular puppetry, and show-stopping special effects for an unforgettable seasonal tradition.

“Twelve years ago, Noel MacNeal shared an idea, and I nudged him to take it from page to stage. We met in a coffee shop to dream up Mouse King, and somehow that little spark has become a South Florida holiday tradition,” says composer Jim Camacho. “Thanks to our incredible kids, professional actors and puppeteers, and the extraordinary puppets crafted by James Wojtal of Henson and Sesame Street, the spirit of Christmas fills the Mandelstam Theater every year.”

Featuring puppets crafted by master puppeteer James Wojtal Jr. – whose work has appeared on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – the production also welcomes guest artists from New York City. Together, they bring MacNeal’s imaginative retelling to life in a way that captivates first-timers and returning families alike.

With a one-hour runtime and no intermission, “Mouse King” is designed for audiences of all ages (minimum age 3). The production remains one of Miami’s most cherished seasonal outings, drawing families back year after year to celebrate the magic of storytelling, community, and Chrismouse cheer.

2025 PERFORMANCE DATES
Friday, December 12 – 7 PM
Saturday, December 13 – 12 PM & 7 PM
Sunday, December 14 – 12 PM

All children, regardless of age, require a ticket. Minimum age is 3 years.

ABOUT “MOUSE KING”
A holiday musical for the whole family, “Mouse King” retells the classic Nutcracker story from the perspective of the mice – complete with enchanting music, handcrafted puppets, and a cast of talented young performers from across the Miami community. Created by acclaimed puppeteer Noel MacNeal (The Muppets, Bear in the Big Blue House, Sesame Street) and award-winning composer Jim Camacho, the musical has become a cherished South Florida tradition celebrating its twelfth year in 2025.

Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason 30 minutes before the concerts, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composer.

SFSO’s 2025 holiday program will open with a selection of Holiday Pops festive favorites including “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” “The Prayer” (as made popular by Andrea Bocelli), “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” (as made popular by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani), “Christmas Canon” (made popular by Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and “Festive Sounds of Hanukkah.” Audiences are also invited to sing along to a special medley of cherished classics – “Jingle, Bells,” “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World” and more.

Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol whirls with Spanish flair.

Cost: Tickets start at $25 (plus fees)

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO), led by Sebrina María Alfonso, returns to illuminate and inspire joy this holiday season with its beloved performances of Handel’s glorious Messiah (Part 1, the Christmas portion) culminating in the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus, and timeless uplifting Holiday Pops on December 8, at 4 p.m., at Barry University in Miami. SFSO will be joined by vocal soloists Rachel Blaustein (soprano), Lisa Marie Rogali (mezzo-soprano), Norman Shankle (tenor) and Rafael Porto (bass-baritone) and the South Florida Symphony Chorus.

Each season, orchestras the world over delight in performing one of classical music’s most well-known and uplifting masterworks. Jonathan Kandell of Smithsonian magazine writes, “A musical rite of the holiday season, the Baroque-era oratorio still awes listeners 250 years after the composer’s death.” In 1789, Mozart posthumously paid Handel the supreme compliment of reorchestrating Messiah but even Mozart confessed himself to be humble in the face of Handel’s genius describing his orchestrations: “When he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt.” In 1823, Beethoven proclaimed Handel to be the ‘greatest’ composer that ever lived.

SFSO’s 2024 holiday program will open with a selection of Holiday Pops festive favorites including “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),” “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “Ocho Kandalikas,” “Ave Maria” (Schubert), and “Dreidel Song.” Audiences are also invited to sing along to a special medley of cherished classics – “Jingle, Bells,” “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World” and more.

Per tradition, SFSO will close the joyous evening with Part I of Handel’s Messiah culminating with the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus as sung by the South Florida Symphony Chorus, made-up of seasoned chorale singers and community talent, directed by Dr. Giselle Elgarresta Rios. Rios and Maestra Alfonso collaborated to create the South Florida Symphony Chorus in 2019, which made its debut at the Beethoven 250th celebration in February of 2020.

Now in its 27th season, SFSO invites audiences to a tantalizing lineup of Icons & Rebels performances featuring upcoming works by Mozart, Strauss and Berlioz, plus an eagerly anticipated orchestra premiere of Bernstein’s satirical masterpiece Candide. The concerts will take place in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Key West.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence by inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations have included performances with ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA and of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.

Tickets for Handel’s Messiah start at $25 (plus fees) for the December 8 performance at Barry University’s Shepard & Ruth K. Broad Performing Arts Center (11300 NE 2nd Ave in Miami Shores). Order online at southfloridasymphony.org/handels-messiah or via phone at (954) 522-8445.

Under the baton of Artistic Director Gabe Salazar, GMCSF will treat audiences to a selection of popular holiday favorites, new standards, and creative vocal arrangements of time-honored classics.

Special guest vocalist Amber Riley, best known for playing Mercedes Jones on the Fox comedy-drama series Glee from 2009 – 2015, will join GMCSF, lending her soaring vocals to the gifted group. For her performance in Glee, she and the cast won a Screen Actors Guild Award and have been nominated for three Teen Choice Awards, three NAACP Image Awards, and a Grammy Award. Riley and partner Derek Hough won season 17 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars 2013. In December 2015, she portrayed Addaperle, the Good Witch of the North, in NBC’s live performance of The Wiz and the following year, she originated the lead role of Effie White in the West End debut of Dreamgirls, for which she won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical and an Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical Performance. In 2017, Riley appeared as a judge on BBC One’s musical theatre talent show Let It Shine and formed a musical theatre supergroup with Beverley Knight and Cassidy Janson, known collectively as Leading Ladies, which was signed to East West Records/Warner. Her debut album, “Songs from the Stage,” was also released in 2017, and in 2020, she released an EP as just “RILEY.” Most recently, Amber won season 8 of FOX’s The Masked Singer making history as the first celebrity ever to win both The Masked Singer and Dancing With The Stars. GMCSF will perform “Hark The Herald Angels Sing,” “Silver Bells,” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas,” among others.

With more than 180 singers on their roster, the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida is the most prominent gay men’s chorus in the southeastern United States and one of the country’s top 10 largest LGBTQ+ choruses. With a budget of over $1 million, the Chorus reaches more than 20,000 people each season through its mainstage concert season and numerous community appearances.

Cost: Tickets start at just $15

South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) will light up the stage with the return of its popular holiday program with performances of Handel’s glorious Messiah, and timeless uplifting Holiday Pops on December 2, at 7:30 p.m., at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale. Sebrina María Alfonso, music director, will conduct the performances featuring soloists Katherine Henly (soprano), Lisa Marie Rogali (mezzo-soprano), Chauncey Packer (tenor) and Neil Nelson (bass baritone), and the South Florida Symphony Chorus.

Jonathan Kandell of Smithsonian magazine writes, “A musical rite of the holiday season, the Baroque-era oratorio still awes listeners 250 years after the composer’s death.” In 1789, Mozart posthumously paid Handel the supreme compliment of reorchestrating Messiah but even Mozart confessed himself to be humble in the face of Handel’s genius describing his orchestrations: “When he chooses, he strikes like a thunderbolt.” In 1823, Beethoven proclaimed Handel to be the ‘greatest’ composer that ever lived.

SFSO’s 2023 holiday program will open with a selection of time-honored Holiday Pops festive favorites including selections from The Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Bocelli’s The Prayer, plus audience sing-alongs. SFSO will then launch into Part I of Handel’s Messiah. The performance culminates with the iconic “Hallelujah” chorus as sung by the South Florida Symphony Chorus, made-up of seasoned chorale singers and community talent, directed by Dr. Giselle Elgarresta Rios. Rios and Maestra Alfonso collaborated to create the South Florida Symphony Chorus in 2019, which made its debut at the Beethoven 250th celebration in February of 2020.

Tickets for Handel’s Messiah start at $15 for the December 2 concert at The Parker (707 NE 8th St, Fort Lauderdale) and can be purchased online at https://southfloridasymphony.org/handels-messiah or via the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Box Office at (954) 462-0222.

About Children’s Harbor

Established in 1996, Children’s Harbor is a nationally accredited non-profit agency with a mission to help strengthen families who are struggling in our community, while providing safe shelter and support to teens in foster care so that they may grow into healthy, educated and productive adults.

With the belief that children should feel safe, that family is worth fighting for and that cycles can be broken, Children’s Harbor provides a harbor of hope and healing for children who have been impacted by the trauma of child abuse. The main campus in Pembroke Pines provides a supportive family environment for teenagers in foster care and their younger siblings. The family strengthening program prevents kids from coming into foster care by providing in-home counseling and support to families who are struggling in the community. Those who have aged out of foster care are provided with housing, life skills and the wrap-around support necessary to overcome their trauma and navigate through the early stages of adulthood through independent living programs.

Brown’s Harbor is a supportive housing community that offers on-site staff, training, and wrap-around support services for young adults who have aged out of the foster care system, ages 18-23, helping to bridge the gap from dependence to independence.

Returning again for another year of thrills and chills, the Headless Horseman Halloween gallops into Gulfstream Park Village on Saturday, October 28. Located on the border of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Gulfstream Park Village will be transformed into a delightfully eerie Halloween destination that will scare and delight guests of all ages. Taking place from 6:30-9:30 p.m., the Headless Horseman Halloween is open to the public and FREE to attend.

Guests should arrive early to enjoy all the festivities – if they dare! At 7 p.m. the storied Headless Horseman embarks on a journey to find his missing head with a canter into the Village. Beware as he enters a spooky fog-filled entrance at the Gulfstream Park Walking Ring before haunting guests throughout the evening.

Thrills lurk everywhere! From 6:30-8 p.m., Gulfstream Park Village will feature spooktacular themed candy stations throughout the Village, a safe alternative to neighborhood trick-or-treating. With approximately 2,000 pounds of candy, each station also features music, lights, and live strolling performers. The ‘Carn-Evil Performers’ will spook and delight near each candy station, with themes including The Nightmare Before Christmas, Creepy Carn-Evil Circus, Zombies, Mummies, Vampires, and scary creatures from Stranger Things.

Beginning at 8 p.m. in the Gulfstream Park Walking Ring is the highly anticipated Evil Costume Contest with up to $1,000 in cash up for grabs. Guests can also enjoy a selection of food trucks including Cuban Guys, The Brothers Kitchen Grill and La Nostra Pizza, and bars with refreshments for purchase as well as music, a laser light show, performers and Miami’s own Chris Cruz as the Emcee/DJ.

Families are encouraged to dress in costume as they stroll through Gulfstream Park Village to collect candy and sweets, watch performances, and take photos. Guests tagging their photos with #GulfstreamVillage and posting them on Instagram can enter a contest for a chance to win a Gulfstream Village Gift Card.
