"You`ve never seen this Nick before!"

Musical theatre for the entire family

«The Time of Nick» is a new family musical created by a Norwegian-American creative team through workshops on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Opening night has been postponed for two years due to the pandemic, but we hope to share some exciting news shortly! 

Nick is born by the North Wind and raised by elves at the Elfenage

Greed arrives at the sleepy village of Tightwood, and the climate threatens to eradicate them all. They have to pass a test, where the village`s most valuable object must be placed at the top of Devil`s Horn. Nick volunteers to take on the treacherous task.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! I TOLD YOU SO!
SOON THE TOWN WILL BE SWALLOWED WHOLE!
FOR A BLIZZARD WILL BURY ALL IN SNOW
IN A WHITENING WORLD OF WIND AND WOE
THE NORTH WIND'S IN CONTROL!

MADDIE
You gave him to me, remember?
NICK
And giving... Of course!
MADDIE
It was never about the horse. It was how you made me feel.

With the help of a baker, a runaway child and a bunch of exiled elves, saves the orphan teenager Nick humanity from greed and finds his destiny: To become Santa!

Feedback from the audience:

The play was awesome! The content spoke to many issues that our society is dealing with today in making an effort to create a social environment where the best of our qualities can be appreciated for the good of all of us. The in-sync of the music and voice caused my feet to join the beat and body and sway to its cool rhythms It definitely has the potential to become an annual must see during the holiday season. Congratulation on a diamond in the ruff! May the spirit of the Tony smile down upon you!"

The show was so much fun! And you assembled some great talent!

We enjoyed the characters coming to life on a small stage. The writing was witty and timeless. The cast was extremely talented! I enjoyed something so different and engaging. We all can't wait to see what comes from this musical - with the costumes, setting and stage, even though iI appreciated seeing it this way... I also loved the music! ...I hope to see this soon - It should be noticed fast!

This show is so much fun! I can certainly see it running year round, not just during the holidays! It's an adventure story with great characters. Also a terrific love story!
