About the Show

Amidst the flickering warmth of a winter hearth, a heartfelt musical resurrects the airwaves of 1947, transporting you through the static of time to this treasured holiday classic. At its center is Kris Kringle, a disarmingly whimsical gentleman whose claim to be the one and only Santa Claus sets off a series of events that challenge even the most cynical of minds. When the pragmatic Doris Walker, a Macy’s executive tasked with hiring the store’s annual Santa, crosses paths with the undeterrable Kringle, she finds her skepticism gradually melting away by his unshakable Christmas spirit and the palpable joy he brings to her young daughter Susan. But as Kris’ very identity is put on trial, an extraordinary legal battle unfolds to prove the existence of that which we can only believe with the untarnished faith of a child. Masterfully composed with original songs, timeless carols, and the nostalgic art of a live radio broadcast, Miracle on 34th Street reminds us that the greatest gifts transcend the material, found within the boundless wonder of an open heart and mind.

A family-friendly show appropriate for audiences of ages three and up.
