At Christmas, the theater listings are more packed with good food than the finest cannelloni. Since we have more free time and more opportunities to give gifts during this period, programmers know it's the time to showcase their safest bets, tried-and-tested shows, and offerings for large audiences. Family and nostalgia are two of the key ingredients on the menu. From all the options, we've chosen 10 multidisciplinary shows, suitable for groups or families, intergenerational, and designed to appeal to different tastes.
