With a ho-ho-ho, and a yippee-ki-yay mother@#$er!

One of the greatest debates of our age will be settled once and for all in Mirrorbox Theatre’s 3rd annual Holiday Fiasco, because DIE HARD …is a Christmas movie. In this world premiere parody musical, gruff cop John McClane leaves the friendly confines of NYC on Christmas Eve, only to be confronted by the three things that make him angriest: German terrorists, Los Angeles, and female empowerment.

This loving homage to everyone’s favorite holiday shoot-‘em-up features new twists on iconic dialogue, as well as songs in the style of classic Christmas tunes like “Let It Snow,” “Little Drummer Boy,” and Ludacris’ “Area Codes.” It is a show that must be seen to be believed! Definitely not kid-friendly! Leave your shoes at home!
