Meredith Willson’s Miracle on 34th Street

A holiday classic from the writer of The Music Man and based on the film of the same name, Miracle on 34th Street tells the story of single mother Doris Walker, who doesn’t want her six-year-old Susan’s head filled with romantic notions. Neighbor Fred Gailey tries to woo Doris by taking Susan to see Santa Claus at Macy’s — where Doris happens to work. While Susan is captivated by the experience, Doris is not impressed — but when it turns out that Macy’s Santa may be the real Kris Kringle, a wave of love spreads across New York City that melts even the most cynical of hearts. Filled with humor, a spectacular Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and beloved songs including “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” this heartwarming musical is pure family entertainment, a joyful story that kicks off the season right.
