Get into the festive spirit with the Lyric

For families, grab some treats and snuggle up on the sofa with recordings of festive favourites from recent years.

Save Neverland with Peter Pan, fall down the rabbit hole with AIice and meet the Big Bad Wolf with Little Red Riding Hood.

The Lyric Theatre is releasing recordings of these magical shows for you to enjoy again over the Christmas season, from December 5 until January 3.

For the grown-ups, Grimes and McKee are bringing us an earful of their hugely popular, laugh-out-loud show from 2016.

Tune in for a special Christmas audio version of The Nativity... What the Donkey Heard.

Updated for 2020 and added to the theatre’s Listen at the Lyric selection box, Grimes and McKee bring a twist on their hugely popular, laugh-out-loud (or titter-into-yourself) show from 2016.

Want to get into the festive spirit? Turn off the telly, pour yourself your favourite tipple, and turn the speakers up loud as this audio recording will have you roaring with laughter,

This irreverent seasonal comedy looks for answers to some big questions: why didn’t Joseph book a room in advance? Didn’t he know the place would be packed for Christmas? Who looked after the sheep while the shepherds were wetting the baby’s head? Would the wise men not have been wiser to club together and buy the kid a high-chair? What did the donkey hear and why was he listening? Just a few questions to ponder while you make your mind up to tune in and listen to this hilarious version of the Christmas story.

Starring Northern Ireland’s finest - Conor Grimes, Terence Keeley, Alan McKee, Tara-Lynne O’Neill and Kerri Quinn, directed by Frankie McCafferty, with music by Rod McVey, this hilarious recording is a must-listen this Christmas.
