Published Reviews

"...an irreverent twist on some of the most beloved stories of the Christmas canon."

Tim Dunleavy, talkinbroadway.com

"We often hear about plays intended for audiences of all ages, but this is a rare one that really works across a wide spectrum."

Steve Cohen, Broad Street Review

"...an admirably snark-free, family-friendly story that's equally amusing to adults..."

Wendy Rosenfield, The Philadelphia Inquirer
