The Nice List

When Santa is called away from the North Pole on urgent business, he leaves his elves in charge of the one thing that can't go wrong: the Nice List. Eager to prove themselves, the elves get to work — and quickly find they're in over their candy canes. As they argue over who's naughty and who's nice, the list gets shorter, and shorter, and shorter… until it looks like no one will be getting presents at all.

A 90-minute sing-along holiday musical for the whole family, The Nice List discovers that the true spirit of Christmas isn't about being perfectly nice — it's about friendship, teamwork, and believing in one another. "Captures the joy and wonder of Christmas in a way that brings out the kid in everyone."

Created in 2020, when a company of Broadway artists — including Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart, Telly Leung, and Ann Harada — built an original virtual musical from their living rooms during the pandemic, streamed free for the holidays in support of Feeding America, and featured on Entertainment Tonight
