A handful of Broadway stars have come together virtually for the new, one-act musical The Nice List, available for streaming free on December 1. This original 45-minute holiday family show begins when Santa’s head elf Chestnut convinces the North Pole to go virtual this year. Everyone is feeling confident until Santa announces that he’ll be supervising the season remotely, leaving the famous Naughty and Nice List to the elves. Pretty soon, it looks like no one will be getting any presents, until Santa appears just in time to spread some holiday cheer.
The cast includes James Monroe Iglehart (Santa), Telly Leung (Chetnut), Julia Mattison (Crumpet), Ann Harada (Raisin), Jennifer Barnhart (Cookie), Nick Kohn (Fruitcake), and Don Darryl Rivera (Gumdrop). The creative team includes Gary Adler (music), Phoebe Kreutz (book, lyrics), Alan Muraoka (direction), Michael Midlin (choreography), Brian Hemesath (costumes), Kathy Fabian (props), and Ace Ikharo (sound).
