"It is hard not to smile watching Lightwire’s dancers – who wear puppet-like costumes outfitted with electroluminescent wires and perform in the dark – bring to life tales of colourful creatures for children and adults alike."
- New Orleans Magazine

"A Very Electric Christmas is the group's third show, and it's an original work that builds on past characters and includes a few familiar but altered characters from Nutcracker, including the namesake Nutcracker and toy soldiers. There's no Clara, and the main characters are a family of birds who are about to celebrate Christmas in New Orleans when a sudden snowstorm disrupts their plans."

In this wonderful story, Santa’s helpers are putting the final touches on presents as a young bird named Max and his family head south for the winter. Poor Max gets blown off course during a snowstorm, and he ends up alone and lost at the North Pole. As he tries to make his way home, his adventure begins when he encounters friendly carolling worms, dancing poinsettias, Nutcracker soldiers, mischievous mice and an evil Rat King. This delightful holiday production will make children wide-eyed with delight and warm even the smallest of hearts.
