Several artists have been collaborating for a show that seeks to sparkle and entertain. Audiences can expect to see earnest reindeer and rascally elves audition for a grumpy Mrs. Claus; mischievous toys come to life in Santa鈥檚 Workshop; and the people of the North Pole send Santa out into the night. Snowflakes will fall, angels will tiptoe through the night sky, and joy will abound as a reminder of what lies at the heart of the holiday season.
