"Directed by Ilyse Robbins, “Miracle on 34th Street” is a heartwarming tale about believing that has audiences laughing, sighing, and singing while getting them into that “Christmas frame of mind... in what could have otherwise been boring scene changes, the staging of this production incorporates classic Christmas ballet pieces as characters comedically move chairs and switch sets, further contributing to the hilarious nature of the already comical production.

Overall, this production of “Miracle on 34th Street” is strong across the board: The cast and creative team work harmoniously to convey a charming Christmas tale that had the audience genuinely laughing throughout the entirety of the show, whether from the funny characters, the quirky physicality choices, or the generally good book based on the classic film." - Jackie Chianca, Wicked Local

 

"Director Robbins (who’s also a multiple IRNE Award-winning choreographer) added her own special touches, with scene changes incorporating clever bits of dance and movement. This a thoroughly enjoyable holiday show, well worth the trip to the cozy Stoneham theater." - Michael Hoban, Theater Mirror
