Join us before the show for some Holiday cheer! Come and grab a cup of cocoa, a Christmas cookie or a candy cane, and meet the Elves of Macy’s. Before entering the theater, we invite you to stop by the North Pole mailbox and write a letter to Santa Claus! Our Elves will be sure to deliver them directly to him. ❄️
Believe in the magic of the season ... with this Christmas classic.
"This is a tale that we want to believe in, that creates a world we seem to desperately desire, free of the blatant commercialism that surrounds us, where love and decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards. What we want Christmas to be all about, really." So writes the Santa Cruz Sentinel of this most heartwarming holiday story. By chance, Kris Kringle, an older man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy's. But Kris isn’t your typical department store actor - he truly believes that he IS the Santa Clause. At Macy’s, he meets Doris Walker, and her daughter Susan. Doris is a single mom, with a shaken faith in the good of other people. She works hard to give her daughter opportunity and stability in a tough world, and Susan has turned into quite the practical and realistic child - seemingly too old and too wise to believe in magic, or Christmas miracles.
Kris takes his new job at Macy’s as an opportunity to unleash waves of good will with Macy's customers, shaking up the self centered commercial world of New York City. Though not all are touched by Kris’ Santa Claus streak - he’s seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor Sawyer, who plots to have Kris locked away in Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital. Kris ends up in a court competency hearing to determine if his claim to be Santa Clause makes him dangerous to those around him. It’s up to Doris, Susan, and their neighbor Fred Gayley (who happens to be an upstart young defense attorney) to prove that Kris is not only as sane as can be, he just may be who he claims after all…
