A seasonal favourite returns!
THE MRTI AGENCY PRESENTS :
Kenny & Dolly’s Christmas Tribute
starring Kylie Fox and Josh Bravener
(Fredericton, NB) – After two years of sold-out shows and growing demand, The MRTI Agency is delighted to announce the return of Kenny & Dolly’s Christmas Tribute for the 2025 holiday season. This year’s production will bring the spirit of the season to audiences in Miramichi, Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John, making the tours widest reach yet.
The 2025 tour kicks off Saturday, December 6 at the James M. Hill Theatre in Miramichi, with both a matinee and evening performance. From there, the holiday magic travels to Casino New Brunswick in Moncton (for the first time!) on Sunday, December 7, followed by a stop at the Fredericton Playhouse on Monday, December 8. The season wraps up in style at the stunning Imperial Theatre in Saint John on Saturday, December 20. All evening shows for this tour begin at 7:30 PM, with Miramichi offering both 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM performances.
Since its release in 1984, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s album Once Upon A Christmas has become one of the most cherished holiday soundtracks, reaching five-times platinum in Canada and filling homes with joy for generations. This faithful stage tribute captures that magic, starring Kylie Fox (Kylie Fox Band) and Josh Bravener (The Hypochondriacs), supported by a powerhouse band of New Brunswick’s finest musicians.
Adding even more sparkle, Mike Bravener returns as Elvis, performing his iconic holiday favourites to ensure no one has a “Blue Christmas.”
Tickets go on sale Friday, August 29, 2025. All ticket links will be found at musicrunsthroughit.com
The MRTI Agency gratefully acknowledges the support of this year’s sponsors—Ginger Agency, Hotchkiss Home Furnishings, and REMAX Elite / J&J Smart Move Inc—whose generosity helps bring this festive tradition to life across New Brunswick.
See you in December with bells on!
