LEEDS — The Leeds Arts Council held its first performance for its first-ever Christmas Extravaganza on Friday, Dec. 2, at 7 p.m. It was filled with traditional, touching, and absolutely hilarious moments.
This show will have you singing and dancing along in-between moments of laughing so hard you might cry. The Christmas Extravaganza is a variety show, so expect group numbers, solos, and more. Many of the performers choreographed their own numbers.
The audience could tell that the cast of extremely talented cast members were also having fun with each performance. This show will truly put you in the Christmas spirit.
It’s not too late to experience this Christmas cheer. The Leeds Arts Council has two more performances, one on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 7 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and one on Sunday, Dec. 4, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Each ticket will be $15 a person.
