The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! at Seattle Rep

About this event

Chaos, comedy, and heart collide in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever! When the notorious Herdman kids—”the worst children in the history of the world”—crash the town’s annual Christmas pageant, everyone braces for disaster. What unfolds instead is a hysterical and soul-stirring reimagining of the Nativity story that challenges assumptions about empathy and belonging, whose voices are valued, and whose stories are told.

This beloved holiday classic features a cast of performers ages 8–20 and reminds us that the greatest gift of the season is when all are celebrated for who they are.
