Synopsis

Jerry Herman, the man responsible for Hello Dolly and Mame, composed the songs for this brisk musical comedy that tempers its seasonal mush with a little social history. Set in 1910, its central themes are women's suffrage and child labour. But don't be put off, because Angela Lansbury is in fine fettle as Santa's feisty wife, whose determination to prove the efficiency of her star map lands her in the backstreets of New York. Terrence Mann's humbugging factory owner and Lynsey Bartilson's chirpy waif provide enthusiastic support and if the numbers aren't exactly showstoppers, at least they're well staged.
