Are you ready to be part of a hilarious and heartwarming holiday production? Join Cadence for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical, by Jahnna Beecham & Malcolm Hillgartner, adapted from the beloved play by Barbara Robinson. Produced by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, this delightful production promises to be a memorable experience for performers and audiences alike.

The Herdmans, the unruly kids known as the worst in the world, turn the small town upside down when they crash Sunday school and demand roles in the Christmas pageant. With biting humor and unexpected twists, they rewrite the classic Christmas story in their own unique way. As the town panics and calls for the pageant's cancellation, reluctant director Grace Bradley and the Reverend must find a way to help the community see the true meaning of Christmas through the eyes of the Herdmans.

This show is perfect for people of all ages!
