Following a sellout production of My Fair Lady last year, College Players are delighted to present Meredith Willson’s Miracle on 34th Street – The Musical.
The big question this season is - do you believe?
Is your perfect Christmas filled with sleigh bells, tinsel, letters to Santa and secret wishes, excitement and wonder on children’s faces? What if none of that existed – Christmas was just common sense and another sales opportunity?
That’s Christmas for Susan and her sensible mother.
This musical adaptation of the classic 1947 holiday film tells the tale of a young girl who doubts the existence of Santa Claus until a very special, white-bearded old man changes her mind. Spreading love, and a little Christmas magic, he turns the city’s commercial spirit upside down and into the spirit of Christmas. Could he really be Santa…
Join us as we follow the misadventures of Kris Kringle from Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, into everyone’s heart via a court case and finally to Christmas itself, recreating the magic of the classic story that continues to delight audiences around the world.
Featuring It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas, Here’s Love and That Man Over There is Santa Claus, Miracle on 34th Street – The Musical is a sparkling, heartwarming festive treat for the whole family, reminding us of the magic of Christmas and the possibility of love.
Wishes can come true… if you just believe!
