"Malthaner's music reaches admirably inspiring heights in such numbers as "Make the World a Better Place" in which Claus' worldly mission is lyrically captured. The score can also pull out all the stops and indulge in music hall shtick in such numbers as "Who, But the Awgwas?" and "Just Like the Old Days."
"Corritore and Malthaner have succeeded in bringing to Erie the fruits of a labor that dares to be different.....We have, in this delightful entertainment, witnessed the birth of what itself deserves to become a holiday tradition."
Floyd Lawrence, Erie Times SHOWCASE
