Just thought of another one & probably the first ( or second) show I ever saw ( with Michael Bennett as a dancer ) "Here's Love " Meredith Wilson's musical version of " Miracle on 34 th St"_

Guess this means I'll have to change the theme of next week's quiz. All the answers would easily be found in this thread.

L5Y ?

I've listened to it twice. Nothing about Christmas/December stuck me. Hmmm. Jake, you're gonna really force me to re-listen? lol.

I really like the song "Lovers on Christmas Eve."

L5Y is set as Christmas time. The Schumel Story is one example.

L5Y is set over the course of... 5 years.
At one point in the show, one song takes place at Christmas when Jamie gives Cathy a copy of Backstage and other assorted things.

Babes in Toyland (p.s. HORRIBLE SHOW!!)

I'm with Magruder. PROMISES was the first to spring to mind. Aren't many shows -- that are funny -- wherein the leading lady tries to commit suicide on Christmas Eve.

"white christmas anyone???"

Also, Holiday Inn... which I think was the film that actually introduced "White Christmas," as sung by Bing Crosby.

I seem to recall there was a musical version of "The Man to Came to Dinner" called "Sherry." I know the play takes place at Christmas, but I don't know if the musical does.

Doubt this counts, but there are 2 Christmas songs in "Songs for a New World." Other than that, I'm can't think of anything else.
