REVIEWS:
"A momentum and ebullience worthy of the Pixar era animate this world-premiere play, whose story line involves a heist, a duel with rapiers, some hip-hop, a squirt gun, a perilous airplane flight and an elf's stint as a secret agent."
The Washington Post
"Such a playful spirit romps through 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, you might think the show itself was a product of Santa's workshop."
The Washington Post
"A grand Christmas adventure, filled with schemes, confrontations, mistaken identities, bravery, and all things naughty and nice!... This journey is an exciting once that I guarantee your children will love! Put some tickets in your kids' Christmas stockings. It will make a great holiday gift."

- Casting Attributes: Cross gender casting
- Casting Notes: Amos and Amos of Kansas are boy mice and were played by an actor in the original production. They could, however, be played by an actress, as a trouser role - still boy mice, but played by a woman. So the cast is either 3 female and 2 male, or 2 female and 3 male.
