A big kiss under the mistletoe to Therese Kincade, Associate Artistic Director of the Little Theatre, and John Stephens, for the beautiful holiday show they have written and directed for Christmas.
Entitled “Believe…the Miracles of Christmas” this delightful musical is chock-a-block with all your favorite holiday songs (24), inspired tap dance routines, glittering costumes, puppets and a story of three miracles.
Before the curtain rises, the voices of three people are heard praying for a special Christmas wish to be granted.
Becca ( Caroline Chisholm) wants to reunite with her father to have Christmas like they used to have. Dylan (Evan Woods Gunter), a soldier, wants to get home for Christmas and the Rev. Calvin Griffith (John Stephens) and also Dylan’s father, is about to lose his church and needs a miracle.
The curtain opens on singers and dancers in colorful Christmas costumes breaking from a show and leaving for the holidays.
We learn that one of the members, Gabriel (Bobby Becher), is actually an angel. Sadie (Jamie Finkenthal) offers to give Becca and Gabriel a ride in a big truck. They sing as they go along, and Sadie sings “The Eight Days of Hanukkah” and tells the story of Hanukkah.
Becca needs to do some Christmas shopping so they stop at a mall and find a Santa’s workshop with elves who perform a spirited tap dance.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
