When a department store Santa claims he’s the real Kris Krinkle, 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.
