The Unauthorized Hallmark(ish) Parody Musical at Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place

Dates: 12/8/2026 - 12/13/2026


The Unauthorized Hallmark(ish) Parody Musical is a hilarious immersive Broadway-style show that blends holiday movie tropes with high octane original pop songs. The story follows Holly, an overworked city executive who returns to her quirky hometown, reunites with an old flame named Mark, and uncovers a cookie contest cheating conspiracy involving a moose on the loose. The show features original songs including Judge That Cookie and It Feels Like Christmas (Because It Is Literally Christmas), and was co-authored by Tim Drucker, Joel Waggoner, and Tony Award winner Bonnie Milligan, with direction by Tim Drucker and choreography by Brooke and Tiffany Engen. Produced by Paquin Exhibition & Theatrical, the production follows a sold-out world premiere in Toronto in December 2025.
