THE SUNKICKS: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS – NATIONAL TOUR

About the Production

The Sunkicks: Home for the Holidays is a high-energy, Broadway-style Christmas spectacular built around precision dance, powerhouse vocals, immersive video design, and holiday magic. Inspired by the grand tradition of classic American Christmas entertainment, the production combines a Rockettes-style precision kickline with a heartfelt original holiday story, contemporary production elements, and some of the season’s most beloved music.

The production features a company of professional dancers, singers, and touring technicians performing in a fast-paced, visually driven theatrical experience designed for performing arts centers and major entertainment venues.

This is a non-union national tour running November through December 2026 with routing currently planned through Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. The tour is designed as a collaborative, team-oriented road environment with a lean but highly professional crew structure, modern automated show systems, strong production values, and an experienced producing team with a long history of successful live entertainment operations.
