“A Winnie-the-Pooh Christmas Tail” at Valley Youth Theatre
A very special Friend-and-Relation tells Christopher Robin a story of a Christmas Eve very long ago (about last year) when Eeyore, the old gray donkey who lives by himself in the thistle corner of Hundred-Acre Wood, was absolutely miserable. It seems that he lost his tail and Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet got all of their friends and a search was organized. There is a great deal of fun and excitement, plus delightful songs, in the adventure that follows. Its theme, which concerns caring, sharing and the importance of cultivating friends, makes this a very special and enchanting musical suitable for any age. $26.

12.4

Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Ghosts of Christmas Eve at Footprint Center
To celebrate the band’s 20th year on the road, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is mounting an all-new production of the show that first turned them into an arena-rock phenomenon. First performed in 1999 and recorded for a TV special – which became just as much of a holiday staple as “The Sound of Music” – “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” was conceived by Paul O’Neill, TSO’s original mastermind. A veteran producer for acts like Aerosmith and Savatage, O’Neill was inspired by the rock operas of The Who and the grandly theatrical concerts of Pink Floyd to create something that was even more spectacular. Together with Savatage members Jon Oliva, Bob Kinkel, and Al Pitrelli, O’Neill developed a unique project that married the spirit of the season with all the exhilarating sounds, operatic grandeur, and visual bravura that fans had come to expect of rock gods. After the massive success of TSO’s first two albums, “Christmas Eve and Other Stories” and “The Christmas Attic,” O’Neill and his team took it on the road (and TV screens) with similarly blockbuster results. Tix start at $49.50; 3-7 p.m. 201 E Jefferson St, Phoenix, AZ; footprintcenter.com/ // @footprintcntr
