The plot of the play captivates children from the first seconds, and they watch in fascination the amazing performance of talented actors. Very often, in the middle of a performance, the main characters ask the children what they should do in a given situation, and depending on the answer received, the story itself changes. Before the performance, kids have the opportunity to take photos with their favorite fairy tale characters and Santa Claus. This year, the season of performances of the Kremlin Christmas tree starts on December 25, 2017 and will continue until January 8, 2018.
