Photo Flash: First Look at MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET at the Engeman

The John W. Engeman Theater presents MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, THE MUSICAL. Performances run now through January 3, 2016, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

The endearing holiday classic MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET is brought to life onstage in this musical gem. A white-bearded gentleman claiming to be the real Santa Claus brings about a genuine miracle on 34th Street, spreading a wave of love throughout New York City, and convincing a divorced, cynical single mother, her somber daughter, and the entire state of New York that Santa Claus is no myth.
