I found a review of the new show "O Wondrous night: The greatest story never told".
This review was done by a writer of screamscape.com which is one of the leading theme park news and info websites. The complete review on the site has some spoiler alerts so I cut those out of the review when I posted it below.
Remember, if you are interested in going to Seaworld to see this show, I would suggest lining up at the theater an hour and a half before the posted show time. Doors open 1 hour prior to posted show time and the theater has filled up completely within the first 15 minutes of the doors opening. Remember that all Christmas shows and attractions are included free of charge with regular park admission.
Here is the review....
The newest addition to SeaWorlds Christmas Celebration is a new stage show entitled O Wondrous Night, the Greatest Story Never Told. Wondrous tells the story of the birth of Jesus through the eyes of three different animals who all claim that they are the reason that Jesus was born. The three animals are a donkey, a dove and a lamb, all of which are oversized puppets. Each of these animals tells a story explaining their part in the birth of Jesus, and have personalities of their own. The stories are interlaced with humor and song, and are quite entertaining. The set is a quite simple manger scene with props constantly being brought on and off of stage. The cast is quite large and very talented, with several actors recognizable from the old Katonga show from BGT.
The most amazing part was the ending of the production. After all of the "stories" were told a large camel puppet told the true story of the birth of Jesus. As the story was being told, the stage started filling up with live ANIMALS.
All in all this was a first class production. The Christmas songs in it were too numerous to count. Several key performers had extensive solo spots. The story was serious, but yet funny in the way that the stories were told. And the finale, OMG my jaw dropped. I have seen the Christmas productions done at Dollywood and never thought that SeaWorld could put on a show to match any of them. Not only did they match the quality of a Dollywood Christmas Show, they exceeded it! As a note, I am NOT a deeply religious person. I still say "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas". The overall thought on the show was to tell a story that almost everyone has heard, and present it in a fun and exciting way. SWF has definitely done this.
