Candlelight Dinner Playhouse to Present MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, 11/13-12/31

T.J Mullen and Annie Dwyer (who famously starred and ran the Heritage Square Music Hall) are re-united on the Candlelight stage for the first time since Heritage Square as the leads Kris Kringle and Doris Walker in the holiday musical, "Miracle on 34th Street," playing November 13 through December 31, 2014

This heartwarming musical features a score by Meredith Wilson (The Music Man and Unsinkable Molly Brown) and is faithfully based on the well-loved Christmas movie of the same name.

"We are excited to be back onstage again", says Dwyer "And Miracle offers us a chance at a whole new style of performance from what we used to do at the Music Hall", she adds. Mullin and Dwyer have charmed Colorado audiences working together at Heritage Square for the last 22 years with their interactive performance style and unparalleled wit. T.J. Mullin ran the Heritage Square Musical Hall for over 40 years before bringing it to close last December.

"We couldn't be more thrilled and honored to have them join our cast - They are Colorado theater royalty and we've got them!" said Patrick Sawyer, Director of "Miracle on 34th Street." "Tom and Annie bring such heart and soul to their roles - audiences are going to marvel at the connection they'll feel to these iconic characters, not to mention the chemistry and excitement that is already developing among the entire cast."

MIRACLE tells us the classic story of how a white-bearded gentleman, claiming to be the real Santa Claus, brings about a genuine "Miracle on 34th Street" - spreading a wave of love throughout New York City: fostering camaraderie between Macy's and Gimbel's Department Stores, convincing a divorced, cynical single mother, her somber daughter and the entire state of New York that Santa Claus is no myth.

The Candlelight Dinner Playhouse combines the excitement of live theater with the comfort of fine dining. Experience state-of-the-art lighting and sound on a traditional Broadway-style stage while enjoying Colorado's largest professional dinner theater. The Candlelight is conveniently located near historic Johnson's Corner, right off of Interstate 25 at Exit 254).
