"Well received -- very appropriate for the season -- audiences laughed, cried, and applauded. -- a nice turn from traditional Christmas offerings."
Review by Lloyd Lowery, Way Off Broadway Players, Midway, AR
"This is the most hopeless place in the world!" Hilda intones as she and Satch, her assistant, argue over what time it is. She dreams of faraway places and only finds tedium in running the Holly Railway Station. That is, until Leo Tannenbaum drops in out of nowhere the day before Christmas Eve. Suddenly, an old radio that hasn't worked in years springs to life, the local group of carolers (which usually yowls like a gang of wet cats) begins to sound like the Morman Tabernacle Choir and the whole town gets the Christmas spirit. Coincidence? Or is Leo doing all this? Even Satch changes his tune when it turns out that Leo might be on the run. This nostalgic theatrical greeting card is full of eccentric small town characters, wise-cracking their way to finding the true wonder of Christmas. And on the way, they make us all wish we could take a ride on The Christmas Express.
SEATING NOTE: We hope to use your paid reserved seat selection for this show. Due to the unknown future of Covid-19, seating may have to be adjusted to accomodate for social distancing. Currently we plan to require masks only for non-vaccinated patrons, but again CDC recommendations may change between now and the show dates.
