Review: MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET: THE MUSICAL at FMCT
The production runs through December 18th.
The musical based on the classic 1947 movie. The musical is written by Meredith Wilson (The Music Man) and tells the story of single mother Doris and her daughter Susan who doesn't believe in Santa Claus.

The yearly FMCT holiday show is always a special time of year, and this production is no different. Director Shanara Lassig helped bring this story to life with a wonderful cast and crew. This show is great for the whole family.

Adam Montgomery as Fred was so good. It's been a few years since I last saw Adam on stage, and it was worth the wait. He has some wonderful scenes with both Bailey and Gabi. He gets to show off his vocals on "My Wish" and "Look, Little Girl".
Gabi Solimon as Susan was pure joy. Such a fun character and she played it so well. She easily held her own with the many stage veterans performing. Gabi had some great vocals on "Arm in Arm" and "My Wish". I really enjoyed her scenes with Adam and Paul.

Keith Schweigert as Mr. Macy was another great casting choice. I love seeing Keith on stage any chance I get. His performance on "That Man Over There Is Santa Claus" was an audience favorite for sure and My State, My Kansas was so much fun also featuring Bailey (Doris), Jeanie Smith-Murphy (Mrs. Schellhammer), Jake Sells (Tammany O'Halloran) and Rick Mangahas (Judge Group).

This is such a fun and family friendly show that you still have 2 full weekends to see.
Congrats to the whole cats and crew for bringing the community another wonderful show!
