The Christmas Spectacular, starring master illusionist Michael Boyd and special guest Prinnie Stevens, is a dazzling celebration of festive magic, music and glamour that will be on for two shows only at The Thebarton Theatre on Wednesday 17 December.
This high-energy festive extravaganza blends dazzling circus acts, grand illusions, spectacular dance numbers and timeless Christmas music. Think Radio City Rockettes meets The Nutcracker, with a little Las Vegas sparkle — and plenty of heart.
The shining star of the night is host Prinnie Stevens. Rising to fame on The Voice Australia, Prinnie leads audiences through a musical journey of festive favourites with her powerhouse renditions of Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You and Joy to the World.
Glam Adelaide spoke to Prinnie about The Christmas Spectacular, her new Christmas single, and family Christmas traditions.
In recent years, Prinnie has made a name for herself across Australia paying homage to some of the greatest female singers across the genres of Soul, R&B and Blues.
“These singers mean everything to me. They’re everything that I looked up to as a young girl. I think the moment my career all changed was obviously being on The Voice. But it wasn’t until I reflected on what I wanted to focus my music on that I realised I wanted to honour these incredible artists and songs and pay homage to them through every performance I do.”
With Christmas only a few sleeps away, we asked Prinnie what Christmas means to her.
“For me, it’s family. It’s all about family – especially being an island girl. And, of course, food! It’s pretty much the perfect time of year because of that. We get together, share a meal and spend time together. I grew up on the northern beaches in Sydney and so Christmas Day always included a trip to the beach.”
Prinnie shared with us her own Christmas traditions.
“I’ve started creating my own family traditions. I’ve started only gifting things that I have made. So it can be food, decorations, mix-tapes – that sort of thing. As long as it’s from the heart.”
Recently, Prinnie has released her own Christmas song, which is available across all major streaming platforms.
“I’ve just released my very own Christmas song called Island Christmas. I grew up singing all these Christmas songs, but they’re all mainly American or European, so very winter-esque, whereas the song that I’ve written is like a summer jam; it’s Afrobeats and very Polynesian. With Australia being an island too, and myself being part Indigenous and Tongan, this piece is such a great summer jam. There are hardly any songs written about Australian Christmas, so I want to change that.”
Prinnie will be in town this week for The Christmas Spectacular, playing at The Thebarton Theatre this Wednesday 17th December.
Audiences will be entranced by Australia’s Got Talent finalist Michael Boyd, one of the country’s top illusionists. His spectacular illusions, mind-boggling disappearances and captivating stage personality delight viewers of all ages.
Also featured is world-class circus artist Aleisha Manion, who defies gravity with a polished and perfectly timed aerial routine. Her breathtaking act adds an extra layer of wonder to a show already brimming with magic, music, and movement.
Joining them is a cast of elite dancers and showgirls, many of whom have graced the stages of Moulin Rouge, the Lido, and other famed international cabarets — delivering glitz, glamour and precision at every turn.
“There’s something for everyone, and that’s what I love about the show. You can literally bring grandma all the way to the grandkids. With the magic included in the show, it really creates that Christmas feel. Michael is incredible, the way he makes it snow on stage every show. The icing on the top of this show is all the classic songs, as well as the Rockette-style dances. We have found that people keep coming back year after year, which is exciting, and they dress up too!”
Whether you’re reliving the joy of Christmas or making magical memories with the kids, The Christmas Spectacular is the ultimate family festive experience.
