Honky Tonk Angels in Amana

Old Creamery – The Old Creamery Theatre kicked off the holiday season with an all-new show full of laughter and music. The Honky Tonk Angels Holiday Spectacular is playing now on the main stage in Amana and runs through December 20th.

From Ted Swindley, the creator of Always…Patsy Cline, The Honky Tonk Angels Holiday Spectacular just might have you doing the “Peppermint Twist” as you go “Rock’n Around the Christmas Tree.”

Directed and choreographed by Artistic Director, Sean McCall, the show offers something for all music lovers. “Ted Swindley has brilliantly mixed traditional Christmas music, with holiday favorites from Motown, Country, Jazz and Rock, in a show that is sure to please all,” McCall said. “Music from original artists such as The Carpenters, Kitty Wells, Elvis, James Brown, Ray Stevens, Three Dog Night, Guy Lombardo – and even Jeff Foxworthy with his “Redneck 12 Days of Christmas” – combine in this wonderfully funny show. If you are not in the holiday spirit when you walk into our theatre, you will be when you walk out,” he said.

With musical direction from Travis Smith, the cast includes Sara Michelle Bickweat, Emily Bodkin, Faith Boles and Old Creamery sweetheart Deborah Kennedy. Band members are: Hannah Drollinger, Gil Perez, Travis Smith, Jon Eric and Seth Thorpe.

Tickets are $26.50 for adults and $17.50 for those under age 30 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 800-35-AMANA or 319-622-6194. Show times are Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. There will also be additional Friday afternoon matinees at 3 p.m. on Friday, November 20th and December 11th.
