FORT MYERS, Fla. — “Ho! Ho! Ho! The Christmas Show” is officially back at Players Circle Theater, and cast members Ted Wioncek, Kimberly Suskind, AJ Mendini and Rachel Querreveld stopped by the studio Tuesday, fresh off their weekend dress rehearsal, to give viewers a special live preview.

The performers shared what audiences can expect from this year’s production, including a lively blend of comedy, storytelling, and a lineup of 35 Christmas songs spanning classics and contemporary favorites. The cast even treated viewers to a rendition of “White Christmas,” offering a small taste of the nostalgic, family-friendly energy the show is known for.

The show, created and directed by Robert Cacioppo, has become an annual holiday tradition in Fort Myers. Designed for all ages, the musical revue promises “love, laughter and all your favorite holiday songs,” along with the cozy, glittery holiday atmosphere that has made it a seasonal staple for local families.

The first three nights of the run will be discounted preview performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. Regular shows start Dec. 5, with evening performances Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets start at around $35 for preview nights and range from $40 to $55 for regular performances.
