Ruben & Clay’s First Annual Christmas Carol Family Fun Pageant Spectacular Reunion Show opened on Broadway December 11. The holiday production is scheduled to play a limited engagement through December 30 at the Imperial Theatre.
The family-friendly variety show reunites the duo who made their debuts on the second season of American Idol—Ruben Studdard won the season, with Broadway alum Clay Aiken as runner-up.
The production includes traditional Christmas favorites in addition to scenes and sketches featuring the two entertainers. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the National Inclusion Project, a non-profit advocacy group for children with disabilities.
