| Susan Walker and her mother, Doris, live
alone in New York in the 1960s. Doris works in an
executive position at Macy's and, at the start of the musical, is busy
organizing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Susan meets an ex-marine
named Fred Gaily, who takes it upon himself to rid her of her
"realistic" outlook on life by taking her to see Santa Claus at Macy's. Kris (Santa) manages to win
Susan over while love blooms between Fred and Doris. The second act
sees Kris appearing in the New
York Supreme Court, with Fred
helping him defend his sanity. In the conclusion, Fred uses the Post
Office to prove to the court (and the world) that Santa Claus does
exist: Kris Kringle is he. |
