UCO Musical Theatre students, from left, Halsey Shelly, Sam Brinkley, Ryan Brown and Kalyn Glover star in the upcoming “Whirling Winter Wonderlands” production at the UCO Jazz Lab. Showings are 7:30 p.m. Dec. 6-8 and Dec. 13-15, and 5 p.m. Dec. 9. The University of Central Oklahoma’s School of Music Musical Theatre division will present multiple showings of its fun-filled annual holiday revue, “Whirling Winter Wonderlands” at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 6-8 and Dec. 13-15, and at 5 p.m. Dec. 9. at the UCO Jazz Lab, 100 E. Fifth St. in Edmond. For the past 17 years, the UCO School of Music has produced highly successful holiday shows and this year will be no different. “Whirling Winter Wonderlands” promotes the holiday spirit of giving and joy through modern twists on classic Christmas carols, incorporating a large cast of musical theatre students. The show will be directed and choreographed by Steven Smeltzer, UCO musical theatre instructor, and graduate students Rachel Brown and Sean Steele. “’Whirling Winter Wonderlands’ captures everything you love about the holiday season,” Smeltzer said. “You’ll laugh, you’ll smile, you’ll want to get up to dance and whirl with the cast on some
of the upbeat newer hits and you may even tear up as some of the classics remind you of holidays past. This show has music for every family and you’ll be led on a journey celebrating the winter holidays not only here, at home but around the world, as well.” “I love how each year the Musical Theatre holiday show takes on its own fresh personality,” said Greg White, UCO professor of musical theatre. “For 17 years it’s been such a joy to present this show to the Edmond and OKC metro community. The fact that we continue to sell out almost every single performance is humbling and overwhelming.” The holiday show tends to sell out every season, so patrons are encouraged to get their tickets as soon as possible.
