Proclaimed by San Francisco Travel Magazine as "a local tradition," this "year-in, year-out hilarious, high-energy, and heart-warming production" (TheatrE Eddys) won over critics and audiences alike in its previous engagements in NCTC's intimate Decker Theatre. Declares the San Francisco Examiner, "only the Grinch could prevent the laughter-filled show from selling out night after night."
NCTC's production is directed by Dennis Lickteig, with musical direction by Matthew Lee Cannon and orchestrations and arrangements by Stephen Oremus.
