Hailed as “a Christmas delight” (The Isthmus), James DeVita and Josh Schimdt’s original musical based on O. Henry’s classic tale of love and generosity rings in the holidays in its Milwaukee debut. Newlyweds Della and Jim—accompanied by a beautiful live violin and cello score—search turn-of-the-20th-Century New York with full hearts and empty pockets for the perfect gift for one another.
Run time: approximately 90 minutes, including intermission
“…it’s difficult to imagine a more idyllic holiday escape…”
—Shepherd Express
“…a heartwarming ode to joy.” —The Cap Times
