A classic from the writer of the musical theatre classic, The Music Man, and based on the movie of the same name, Miracle on 34th Street features a book and score by Meredith Willson. Watch this holiday tale unfold on the Tilles Center stage.

About the show: Single mother, Doris Walker, doesn’t want her six-year-old Susan’s head filled with romantic notions. Their neighbor, Fred Gailey, tries to woo Doris by charming Susan and taking her to see Santa Claus at Macy’s, where Doris works. Doris is not impressed, but when it turns out that Macy’s Santa may, in fact, be the real Kris Kringle, a wave of love spreads across New York City that melts even the most cynical hearts. Filled with humor, spectacle and such beloved songs as “Pinecones and Hollyberries,” “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” and “My State, My Kansas,” this joyous, heartwarming musical is pure family entertainment, wholesome without being cloying.

With support from the Massapequa Philharmonic, conducted by David Bernard.
