Two days before Christmas, Shea’s Performing Arts Center in downtown Buffalo is hosting exactly the kind of show that makes a December afternoon feel like an event. The Princess Proms — a theatrical concert experience born in the UK and now making its American debut — arrives at 650 Main Street on Wednesday, December 23 at 3:30 PM, and if you have kids in your life (or a healthy relationship with your inner child), this one is worth planning around.
About The Princess Proms
This is not a character appearance or a theme park revue. The Princess Proms is a full-scale theatrical production by Enchanted Voices, featuring a cast of acclaimed West End and Broadway performers who have sung for royalty and appeared on national television. The setlist covers an impressively wide range: music from Frozen, Wicked, Moana, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, The Wizard of Oz, Anastasia, and Pocahontas, plus contemporary pop from Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and Rachel Platten.
The format leans fully theatrical — professional singing, choreography, acrobatics, and production lighting all in play. The production encourages the audience to dress up and sing along, which means the room is going to be loud, glittery, and genuinely fun in the best possible way. The show sold out across the UK before crossing the Atlantic, and the 2026 US tour has already hit cities including Milwaukee, Roanoke, Chesterfield, and Rochester.
Venue Info
Shea’s Performing Arts Center is a 3,019-seat room and one of the premier performing arts destinations in Western New York. A 3:30 PM curtain on December 23rd means you can make a full afternoon of it — wrap the show and still have time to grab dinner in downtown Buffalo before the holiday weekend settles in. Check the Shea’s Performing Arts Center venue page for access and parking details, and plan ahead if you are coming in from out of town.
