From classics like The Nutcracker to contemporary holiday rock music, the historic Basie has you covered this holiday season
As the song goes, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” – and at the historic Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, that means tickets are selling fast for the nonprofit theatre’s calendar of seasonal shows.
“Red Bank is a magical town during the holiday season,” said Count Basie Theatre President/CEO Adam Philipson. “There is nothing like adding a memorable show to complete a day of shopping and dining in town. Whether they’re holiday themed or they just happen to fall during the holiday season, we’re honored that our annual offering of holiday classics have become part of family and community traditions.”
Tickets for this season’s holiday offerings are on sale at theBASIE.org, 732-842-9000 and the Count Basie Theatre box office, located onsite at 99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank.
