Start with a delicious buffet luncheon with all foods prepared on the premises.
Following lunch enjoy the hilarious Matinee performance of A Christmas Cactus!
Christmas Eve is tough for private investigator Cactus O’Riley, a white hot redhead with the holiday blues. She doesn’t need the added aggravation of two fugitives who burst into her office looking for justice and a dead detective named Jake Marley.  Christmas turns into a dickens of a holiday for Cactus as she solves mysteries, delivers small miracles and takes a second chance on love and sleuthing.  Comedy, mystery, and romance converge in this charming contemporary Christmas tale where goodwill and justice triumph!
Following the Matinee, return to your seat in the dining room for a holiday themed Cabaret Show!

COST: $75 per person includes roundtrip motorcoach, fabulous buffet lunch, matinee performance of “A Christmas Cactus”, and cabaret show.  Driver tip is not included.

Relentless policeman Javert pursues escaped convict Jean Valjean over decades through the tumult of revolutionary France.  Jean Valjean becomes a wealthy factory owner and mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer.  Guilt-ridden, he agrees to raise Cosette, the daughter of Fantine, who was wrongly fired from her job at Valjean’s factory and becomes a prostitute to support her daughter.  Years later, Jean Valjean joins the fight for freedom in order to protect Cosette’s love, Marius. 

Featuring the thrilling score and beloved songs “I Dreamed A Dream”, “On My Own”, “Stars”, “Bring Him Home”, “One Day More” and many more, this epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history.
