What an adorable story with messages for adults and kids alike. The dancing was superb but the noise and distractions from kids in the audience took something away from this show.

A wonderful holiday show for children. I have never liked the singing, but the rest of the show--the dancing, the music, the costumes, the kids on stage--are really magical. My children love the alligator especially.
