Kris Kringle is the personification of good will and holiday spirit. As Macy's holiday Santa, he enchants children and shoppers so completely that he is deemed dangerous by fellow employees who question his competency and plot to ruin him. A small girl's belief in Santa and the magic of the holiday is at stake in a climactic courtroom decision.

This hilarious, tender and charming show is a Christmas movie tradition, brought to life in a stage adaptation sure to delight the whole family
