My family was able to attend the new musical, The Best Thing About Christmas, last night. I was worried we wouldn't be able to make it because it was snowing pretty hard and the roads were bad, but we powered through and it was worth the drive!
The show is about a family who suffered a terrible loss right around Christmas and how they are dealing with everything a few years later. The father in particular is having a hard time and is working on finding his Christmas spirit again. There were some back and forth on when the tragic event happened to present-day, and at times it was confusing as to what time period we were in and whether the events were really happening or if the dad was just writing a song in his head, but eventually the timeline became clear. The actors did a wonderful job, but the younger daughter, played by Savannah Lawrence, stole the show. She was so believable in her role and I loved her voice. They also had a children's choir in several numbers and their voices really added a nice depth. The songs are touching and the message is sincere. My children teared up, especially in the second act. It was a fun family Christmas event that will definitely start some conversations on what the true meaning of Christmas is.
