"A CORNUCOPIA OF DELIGHT… a delightful bell choir, snow, larger than life projections, and other numerous visual extravaganza… stage magic… I highly recommend making this production a part of your Christmas tradition. With Jeanine A. Ringer’s marvelously fluid “scenic concept” taking us from stunning tableau to stunning tableau, aided and abetted by composer-sound designer Robert Oriol’s mood-setting music, Ken Booth’s exquisite lighting design, and original costume designer Angela Balogh Calin’s supremely imaginative period and ghostly garb, it becomes as easy as Christmas pie to abandon adult skepticism and allow oneself to be transported into the world of theatrical magic the directors Elliott and team have confectioned." - Stage and Cinema, December 2021
