As of December 23, 2025, excitement is building for the Oklahoma City stop, which is scheduled for a double performance, ensuring that no fan misses out on the dazzling display of rock music, pyrotechnics, and symphonic storytelling. This refreshed presentation promises to elevate the beloved holiday tradition, combining classic TSO hits with cutting-edge visual technology and a powerful second set of fan-favorite tracks.

The All-New Production of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve"
The core of the 2025 tour is the return of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve," a show based on the 1999 television film narrated by Ossie Davis. However, TSO has promised that the production hitting the Paycom Center will be a full-scale, "all-new" experience. This means more than just a new coat of paint; it’s a complete overhaul of the visual and technical elements that TSO is famous for.
The story itself is a moving allegorical rock opera that follows a young runaway girl who seeks shelter in an abandoned vaudeville theater on Christmas Eve. There, she encounters a cast of spectral characters who guide her through a journey of self-discovery and holiday redemption, all set to the soundtrack of TSO's powerful music.
Here are the seven most compelling details about what makes the 2025 production a must-see event in Oklahoma City:
1. A Reimagined Narrative and Stage Design
The 2025 show is billed as a "reimagined and expanded presentation" of the classic story. Fans can expect the narrative arc—featuring the runaway girl and the ghosts—to be preserved, but the staging will be completely different. This likely includes new, towering LED screens, dynamic moving truss systems, and an evolved set that transforms the Paycom Center into the abandoned theater from the story.
2. The Return of Fan-Favorite Hits in a Second Set
Unlike previous tours that focused solely on a single rock opera (like The Lost Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve & Other Stories), the 2025 tour explicitly promises a "special second set of hits and fan-favorites." After the conclusion of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve" rock opera, the band will launch into a high-energy performance of their most requested tracks. This ensures the audience gets both the theatrical experience and a full-blown rock concert.
3. Elevated Pyrotechnics and Laser Show
TSO is legendary for its massive, arena-rock production values. The "all-new production" guarantees an upgrade to the already staggering visual display. Expect more lasers, more fire, and more synchronized lighting effects than ever before. The performance of staples like "Wizards in Winter" and "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" will be backed by a dazzling, multisensory experience that fills the entire arena.
4. New Arrangements of Classic Tracks
While the core songs remain, TSO often subtly updates the arrangements to keep the music fresh. The setlist will undoubtedly feature classics like "O Come All Ye Faithful / O Holy Night" and "Good King Joy." However, the "reimagined" label suggests that veteran members like Al Pitrelli and Jon Oliva may have introduced new instrumental flourishes or vocal textures to these beloved holiday anthems.
5. A Deep Dive into the TSO Discography
The "Best of TSO and More" part of the tour title hints at a wider selection from the band's extensive discography. While the focus is on the Christmas trilogy (*Christmas Eve & Other Stories*, *The Christmas Attic*, *The Lost Christmas Eve*), fans might hear tracks from their non-holiday works, such as Beethoven's Last Night or Night Enchanted, showcasing the band’s progressive rock roots and musical versatility.
6. The Legacy of Paul O'Neill Continues to Inspire
The late founder, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill created the vision for TSO: to unite the power of rock with the storytelling of classical music. Though he passed away in 2017, his spirit remains the driving force. The 2025 "all-new production" is a testament to his original vision—a commitment to continually evolving the spectacle while maintaining the deeply emotional and uplifting core message of the music.
7. Dual Showtimes Offer Maximum Flexibility
The decision to host two shows at the Paycom Center on December 7, 2025—a 3:00 PM matinee and a 7:30 PM evening show—is a key detail for OKC attendees. This dual schedule is designed to accommodate families and different travel schedules, making it easier for fans from across Oklahoma and the surrounding states to experience the event. The matinee is often preferred by families with younger children, while the evening show provides the full, late-night rock concert atmosphere.
How to Secure Your TSO OKC Tickets for 2025
Tickets for both the afternoon and evening performances are already on sale. Given the intense popularity of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s annual tour, especially for a new production of a classic show, securing tickets early is highly recommended.
The Paycom Center provides a variety of seating options, from floor seats close to the action and the famous TSO light bridges, to upper-level seats that offer a panoramic view of the entire spectacular stage production. Fans should check official ticketing sites like Ticketmaster and the Paycom Center's own box office to avoid third-party markups and ensure they get the best seats available for this massive holiday event.
The 2025 Trans-Siberian Orchestra performance in Oklahoma City is more than just a concert; it is a holiday tradition revitalized. With an all-new production of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve" and a second set packed with hits, the Paycom Center is set to host the most visually and musically stunning TSO show yet. Don’t miss your chance to witness the fusion of symphonic rock and incredible theater this December.
