The Gifts of the Magi at Middletown Lyric Theatre

It is Christmas in New York, but for Jim and Della, the prospects are bleak, as both are out of work and penniless. But as those familiar with the famous O. Henry story are aware, their dilemma is solved when both part with their most precious possessions (she her beautiful long hair, he his heirloom pocket watch) in order to buy presents for each other thereby creating a magical moment. In addition to their story there are glimpses of various city folk all gracefully enhanced by song. The perfect musical for us to celebrate the holiday season.
