“What a show!” It’s the celebration of Russian New Years and Christmas in one show as only Yakov can do it. The Yakov Smirnoff Christmas Show is a combination of his regular show with the addition of the celebration of the Russian New Year and Christmas. From its simple opening with Suzanne Wonderly singing the “Star Spangled Banner” and the celestial introduction of Yakov to its inspiring close, this show is a special Christmas gift of Yakov’s unique humor, great production, costuming, and dancing that is a wonderful Branson entertainment experience.
The majority of the first half of the show is composed of audience favorites from Yakov’s regular show. Yakov does a number of excellent and funny comedy routines that are built around themes and are introduced by full production numbers.
To paraphrase the words of Yakov himself, “You might not have thought about production numbers in a comedy show, but you will now.” The dancers, costuming, and music are excellent and choreographed into the show along with excellent sets. When combined with Yakov’s great comedy and his ability to relate so well with his audience the result is a unique “exciting quality entertainment experience.”
One personal highlight of the first half would be the “Russian to Redneck” segment combining great dancing along with Yakov’s humor as he transitions from a Russian to a Redneck. Another was the segment involving “President Yakov.”
The first half ends with the celebration of the Russian New Year which actually comes before the Russian religious celebration of Christmas on the actual date of January 7. And what a celebration it is, everyone participates, the audience, the Statute of Liberty and the Russian dancers. It’s an exciting and fun filled way to end the first half of the show.
The second half is all Christmas themed starting with toy soldiers, snowman, excellent dancing and a Frosty presentation of Yakov for an extremely funny stand up routine. Christmas is about giving love and Yakov about giving laughter. The two are combined as Yakov gives the audience the gift of his counsel on the sharing of love and laughter while on an entertaining tour of his Laboratory of Laughter.
There is even action on the high seas as Santa has to deal with pirates who have captured him and threaten Christmas. In a fun filled action segment Santa find the key that opens the treasure chest and saves Christmas.
The inspiring finale is filled with the spirit of Christmas. What a great ending to a wonderful Christmas entertainment experience.
