This show is about a boy who dun believe in Santa... and on a snowy X'mas Eve, he lies awake in his room, feeling excited and alert.. He's listening for a sound he's afraid that he might never hear – the ringing bells of Santa's sleigh.
The time is five minutes to midnight.
Suddenly, the boy is startled by a thunderous roar. Clearing the mist from his window he sees the most amazing sight – a gleaming black train rumbles to a stop right in front of his house, the steam from its powerful engine hissing through the night sky and the softly falling snowflakes.
The boy rushes outside, clad only in his pajamas and slippers, and is met by the train's conductor who seems to be waiting just for him.
“Well, are you coming?” the conductor asks.
“Where?” the boy asked.
“Why, to the North Pole, of course. This is the Polar Express!”
And the boy boarded the train, and his advanturous trip to north pole begins..
When the doubting young boy boards the extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
