Christmas with the King
- Town: Manasquan
- Where: Algonquin Arts Theatre, 60 Abe Voorhees Drive, Manasquan, NJ 08736
- When: Sunday, November 22, 2026, 3 p.m.
Travis LeDoyt, billed as the world’s best young Elvis, brings a live band to Manasquan for an afternoon of Elvis Presley’s Christmas classics and biggest hits. LeDoyt is known for recreating the voice, look and stage presence of Elvis in his early rock and roll years, so expect plenty of hip shaking energy alongside the holiday songs. It is part of the theater’s Concert Series and a fun pick for anyone who grew up with Blue Christmas on the record player.
A Sunday matinee the weekend before Thanksgiving makes this an easy outing with parents or grandparents, and Main Street Manasquan is close by for an early dinner or coffee afterward.
Disney’s Frozen
- Town: Manasquan
- Where: Algonquin Arts Theatre, 60 Abe Voorhees Drive, Manasquan, NJ 08736
- When: Saturday, December 5 through Sunday, December 20, 2026
The Broadway stage version of Disney’s Frozen brings Elsa, Anna, Olaf and friends to Algonquin as part of the theater’s 2026 to 2027 Broadway Series. The musical follows the story of two royal sisters, with themes of courage and love, big visuals and the songs families already know by heart. For a lot of local kids, this will be the holiday show of the year.
Performance schedule:
- Saturday, December 5: 2 p.m.
- Sunday, December 6: 3 p.m.
- Friday, December 11: 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, December 12: 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, December 13: 3 p.m.
- Friday, December 18: 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, December 19: 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, December 20: 3 p.m.
Good to know: Algonquin does not admit anyone under the age of four to either show, and babes in arms are not permitted, so plan childcare for little ones. Families eyeing a specific date should book early.
Which show is right for you?
Christmas with the King is the pick for adults and music lovers who want a nostalgic afternoon of rock and roll and holiday standards, while Frozen is made for families with school age kids who already know every word. Because Frozen runs across three weekends with both matinees and evening performances, it is easy to find a date that works around school concerts, holiday parties and travel. Pair a December matinee with a visit to Santa or a holiday lights drive afterward for a full holiday day out.

Tickets for both shows are sold through the Algonquin Arts website and the box office at 732-528-9211.
