By: Alexandra Johnson Dec. 15, 2009
Joe Mantello's adaptation of snap-witted American essayist David Sedaris' "The SantaLand Diaries" is a true and humorous account of Sedaris' stint working as "Crumpet the Elf" in Macy's department store during the busy holidy season. This one-man show recounts, in inglorious detail, Sedaris' uproarious misgivings and misadventures as only he can tell them! The show is rated R.
