Santa and his naughty elves are back in town to save Christmas in the London West End's all-time-favourite holiday production Santa Clause and the Magical Christmas Journey.

The new production will open at the Abu Dhabi Theatre on Thursday, December 10, an then move on to the Ductac stage for shows on Friday and Saturday, December 11-12.

The story of Father Christmas’ journey from the North Pole to delivery presents, only to be misguided when the Sat Nav goes haywire and breaks, will be told to young audience members through songs and nursery rhymes.

Kids will also get to experience a white Christmas moment during the show, with fake snowflakes cued into the show, as well.

BBC's Strictly Come Dancing star Russell Grant lends his voice to the recording of Santa's Sat Nav in the production.
