Announcing the Eleventh Annual MAYOR's HOLIDAY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ami Bennitt, [email protected], 617.797.8267 Announcing the Eleventh Annual MAYOR’S HOLIDAY -- LAUNCHING NOVEMBER 10, 2014 Thousands of Half-Priced Tickets to Over 130 Beloved Holiday Performances throughout Greater Boston Including Theatre, Music, Dance, Comedy, and Kids/Family Shows Featuring THE NUTCRACKER, HOLIDAY POPS, BLUE MAN GROUP, WHITE CHRISTMAS THE MUSICAL, A CHRISTMAS CELTIC SOJOURN, THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, THE CHRISTMAS REVELS, and Dozens More! [Boston, MA -- November 10, 2014] ArtsBoston, in partnership with Mayor Martin J. Walsh, the City of Boston, and the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, announce the eleventh annual Mayor’s Holiday, an eight-week celebration of the area’s performing arts featuring thousands of half-priced tickets to over 130 holiday shows throughout Boston and beyond. Tickets for Mayor’s Holiday 2014 go on sale November 10, 2014, at MayorsHoliday.com and at both BosTix booth locations at Copley Square and Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Mayor Martin J. Walsh BosTix Booth/Copley Square Continuing the decade-plus holiday tradition originally supported by former Mayor Thomas M. Menino, this year’s Mayor’s Holiday features favorites including Boston Ballet’s The Nutcracker, Holiday Pops, The Christmas Revels , Handel’s Messiah as part of Handel and Haydn Society’s bicentennial season, 1 Irving Berlin’s White Christmas The Musical presented by Citi Performing Arts Center, Blue Man Group, A Christmas Celtic Sojourn with Brian O'Donovan, the Broadway hit The Trip to Bountiful (featuring Tony Award winner Cicely Tyson, Vanessa Williams, and Blair Underwood), New Repertory Theatre’s The Little Prince, José Mateo Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker, Anthony William’s Urban Nutcracker, Back Bay Ringers, and more. See below for the full list of Mayor’s Holiday performances. “We know the arts factor into what makes Boston such a special place throughout the year, and this is especially true during the holiday season,” says ArtsBoston Executive Director Catherine Peterson. “Where else can you experience Keith Lockhart conduct Holiday Pops in the world famous Symphony Hall, or share in George Frideric Handel’s masterpiece Messiah by Handel and Haydn Society, the organization that originally premiered the piece in America in 1818? Mayor’s Holiday makes it easy and affordable for friends and family to spend time together they’ll cherish all season long.” “The City of Boston is proud of our fruitful partnership with ArtsBoston and the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau, offering so much cultural access to our community,” says Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “Add up just the top 10 arts venues in the Boston area during the holidays, and they generate over $8.8 million annually beyond the cost of admission on restaurant dining, overnight accommodations, transportation, and parking. That’s real money translating into local jobs and sustainable income for our residents. Plus who doesn’t love to feel a little more magic, like the kind you can only get from a live performance, during the holiday season? ” “Mayor’s Holiday reinforces our region as a ‘must do’ destination for tourists and visitors during the holidays,” says Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau President Pat Moscaritolo. “Taking time to enjoy the amazing array of local, live arts offerings, restaurants, and hotels allows you to share an experience that is totally unique to our region.” Additional Mayor’s Holiday Offerings Mayor’s Holiday 2014 also includes special offers to over thirty area restaurants, including P.F. Chang’s, Tremont 647, Brasserie Jo, Flora, and the Melting Pot. Further, Mayor’s Holiday is again the exclusive online retailer for First Night Boston 2015 admission buttons (only $10), available at mayorsholiday.com, as well as at both BosTix booths in Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Copley Square. Additional Support for Mayor’s Holiday 2014 Mayor’s Holiday 2014 is supported in part by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), Massachusetts Cultural Council, The Boston Globe, Boston.com, Magic 106.7 FM, Boston Central, and Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
