Top 5 Musical Theatre Showstoppers for the Holiday Season

Some of our favorite holiday memories were spent at the theatre with our family. There is nothing more satisfying than to watch dancers and singers synchronously tap while snow comes down from the sky (...fake snow...but we can pretend) while the woman next to you is wearing too much perfume and has a chunky red sweater on that fills half of your seat. That is most definitely the best. Right? Well, while those memories are not being re-lived in-person this year, we are feeling extremely nostalgic. So, we decided to chart some of our favorite musical theatre songs and scenes celebrating the holidays.
