Miracle on 34th Street: A Live Musical Radio Play
About The Production
Adapted from the 1947 Lux Radio Broadcast. When a department store Santa claims he’s the real Kris Kringle, his case gets taken all the way to the Supreme Court, and a little girl’s belief makes the difference in the ‘miracle.’ With live Foley effects and a score of holiday carols, Miracle on 34th Street is a beloved musical that will melt even the most cynical of hearts.- Adapted By
