A festive Christmas production featuring dancers, aerialists, singers and an illusionist, with a grand appearance from Santa Claus.
The Greatest Christmas Show is coming to the Civic Theatre on Tuesday 22 December, part of its 2026 tour across several Australian cities. It's a family production that bills itself as Australia's number one family Christmas event, and it returns bigger and better each year.
The show brings new acts, new magic and new carols, alongside a grand appearance from Santa Claus. On stage is a world-class cast of dancers, aerialists, singers and an illusionist, all in glittering costumes and performing soaring aerial feats. It's a variety-style Christmas show, so you'll see a mix of dance, magic and song rather than a single narrative.

If you're planning to go, there's a presale running right now that saves A$10 per ticket. That presale closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 30 August, venue local time, so you'll want to move on it before the end of the month if you're after the discount. After that, tickets will be available at the standard price. The show itself is on 22 December at the Civic Theatre here in Newcastle.
