NEW HOPE, PA — Bucks County Playhouse is kicking off its 2024 Holiday Celebration with “Christmas in July” now through July 31.

As part of its early push for the holidays, Bucks County Playhouse is adding holiday programming, offering special promotions, and launching package deals that are perfect gifts for family and friends.

The centerpiece of the Playhouse’s 2024 holiday season is an all-new production of “Anastasia: The Musical.” Featuring the popular songs from the original animated feature and more, “Anastasia” is a sweeping musical adventure that transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s. A brave young woman named Anya sets out to discover the mystery of her past but is pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her.
