The Christmas Riddle of Christmas Porridge (Christmas Musical)

The Christmas Riddle of Christmas Porridge is Musicalteatret's ninth family-friendly Christmas musical – an adventurous and amusing theatre performance filled with original songs and colourful characters. The story follows an entertaining tale: after 1000 years on the job, Santa Claus wishes to retire, causing panic among the elves. To find his successor, an elf must pull an enchanted spoon from Santa's magical Christmas porridge. Four elves hope to become the new Santa: kitchen elf Kanelia, housekeeping pig-elf La Grisabella, decorative goose-elf Granersine, and stable elf Nødbert. Join an exciting journey to discover who will be chosen to ensure Christmas for the next thousand years.
