Mrs. Santa Claus description Much closer to Hello, Dolly! than your usual Christmas special, Mrs. Santa Claus joins two distinct genres: holiday family fare and the Broadway musical. This song-studded extravaganza was especially designed for TV by Broadway legend Jerry Herman, whose songs are just as incorrigibly catchy on the small screen as they are on the stage. Herman uses one of his favorite leading ladies from the theater, Angela Lansbury, in a tale of Santa's "invisible wife," who takes the reindeer off for an impulsive week-long adventure in New York City. Unexpectedly becoming a suffragette and labor organizer (it's set in the early 20th century), Mrs. Claus twinkles merrily at all who cross her path. This is a problem, dramatically speaking, because what's compelling about someone who twinkles all the time? The costumes are by Bob Mackie (duh), the choreography by Chicago director Rob Marshall. And just try to get the melodies out of your head. --Robert Horton |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Delightful Christmas Movie |
| I watched this originally because of Angela Lansbury. She does not disappoint in this lovely, heart-warming movie and all the supporting players back her up beautifully. The story is not the core of the film but the music and dancing makes up for any small discrepancies with the script. If you like musicals you'll love this. I intend to play this every Christmas in the same way as I play the original version of "A Christmas Carol". | |
