Chriskirkpatrickmas: A Boy Band Christmas Musical comes to Seven Dials Playhouse

Chriskirkpatrickmas: A Boy Band Christmas Musical transfers to London this festive season.

After a triumphant run at the Edinburgh Festival, the critically acclaimed show is to run at Seven Dials Playhouse from 1 – 30 December 2023.

This uproarious parody musical takes inspiration from *NSYNC and delivers a delightful dose of 90s nostalgia through 12 original songs, offering a heartwarming and side-splitting boy band extravaganza.

This laugh-out-loud original musical is A Christmas Carol meets It’s A Wonderful Life meets *NSYNC. It’s Christmas Eve 2009, seven years into the world-famous boy band’s indefinite hiatus, and *NSYNC’s founder Chris Kirkpatrick has until midnight to make a wish that could change his life forever.

Making up the cast are Riley Rose Critchlow, Elizabeth Ho, Mia-Carina Mollicone, Valen Shore, Nicole Wyland and Alison Zatta.

This side-splitting original musical is the brainchild of Valen Shore, a gifted songwriter and artist whose creations have graced popular shows like Riverdale, Lucifer, and Pretty Little Liars, and award-winning writer, actor, and filmmaker Alison Zatta. The production is presented by Pacey’s Creek and Kobalt, featuring direction by Riley Rose Critchlow, musical direction by Taylor J Williams, and sound design by Josh Millican.

Co-creators of Pacey’s Creek, Valen Shore and Alison Zatta said: “It’s a dream come true to be bringing some boy band Christmas magic to London right after Edinburgh Fringe. We can’t wait to share our updated twist on holiday classics with a whole new audience.”

Katie Pesskin, Programme Director at Seven Dials Playhouse, added: “As a diehard boyband fan, Chriskirkpatrickmas was at the top of my Edinburgh must-see list and it absolutely did not disappoint! Even in mid-August it was clear that it is the perfect alternative Christmas show – throw a post-show party into the mix and what’s not to love?! So I am thrilled that Alison, Valen and the whole team are joining us for a Boyband Christmas Takeover at Seven Dials Playhouse and that we can share the Chriskirkpatrickmas joy with London this festive season.”
