The Marionettes perform in December 2018
This concert and this year was a special one for us. We know it’s been a challenging time for many, and — not least since it’s our 55th anniversary — we wanted more than ever to lift your spirits, to fill Trinidad & Tobago’s beloved Queen’s Hall with magic and colour and celebration… to make you sing, dance, laugh, reflect, and leave the Hall with a bounce in your step, feeling Christmassy, festive, happy, and hopeful — as if all the stresses of the world had melted away for a little while. That’s the goal we set ourselves, and our performers, our production team, our designers all rose to the occasion. And based on the phenomenal feedback we’ve received, we must have done something right! 🤗
