A Magical New Holiday Musical by Lara Rain
December 26–30 • Casino du Liban
Beirut, Lebanon
This Christmas, Lebanon is invited to step into a world where stories come alive and
wishes find their way home. The Enchanted Storyteller of Christmas, a spectacular new
family musical by Lara Rain, will illuminate the stage of Casino du Liban for five
unforgettable nights, from December 26 to 30 with a heartwarming tale about hope,
dreams, and the light we carry within.
The story unfolds in an orphanage where little girls long for a Christmas to remember.
When the youngest wishes upon a shooting star, an Enchanted Storyteller appears,
ready to create a story just for them. She brings their favourite book characters to life,
opening the doors to a magical Christmas Village filled with music and wonder, dazzling
costumes and spirited dance numbers.
But not everything in this magical world is joyful. Some characters have lost faith in
Christmas because their wishes remain unfulfilled. Determined to understand why, the
children and the Storyteller embark on an adventure to meet Santa Claus himself.
Through an inspiring journey to the North Pole, they will discover that the greatest gifts
aren’t found under a tree… they are already within reach if only we open our hearts.
Featuring more than 30 performers of all ages and nationalities, dazzling visuals,
original music, and the joy of seeing beloved storybook characters on stage, The
Enchanted Storyteller of Christmas blends stunning visuals, powerful vocals, and
theatrical spectacle to create a holiday experience for all ages.
“This show was born out of a difficult moment,” says creator Lara Rain.
“Lebanon has endured so much, and I wanted to give our children a moment of
pure magic; a reminder that hope is still possible, that light still appears when we
dare to wish for it.”
