Sleigh!

Producer | Basement Theatre

JINGLE YOUR BELLS! - Basement Theatre’s legendary Christmas Show has returned!

Heartthrobs, an award-winning collective of Auckland's hottest improvisers led by Brynley Stent (Taskmaster NZ, Celebrity Treasure Island), Alice Canton (Snort) and Rhiannon McCall (7 Days, Snort), are taking the reins of SLEIGH!

Fully improvised every night, the revolving Heartthrobs cast and a celebrity guest will be taking you for a hilarious and high-octane ride on their Sleigh!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the mall, Aucklanders grabbed at pressies - that last minute haul. Now mall Santa! Now cookie sellers! Now teen gift wrapping pros! On mean girls, on meltdowns, a Christmas cracker explodes…

Hark! A catastrophe strikes! Who will save Christmas before the mall closes?

"It doesn’t quite feel like Christmas has arrived until I’ve been to Basement Theatre." - Jacinda Ardern (The Prime Minister) in The Spinoff’s “Oral History of the Christmas Show”

Created, written and directed by Heartthrobs.
