“What a delightful confection for the holidays. What starts out as a screwball comedy seamlessly shifts into a magical place of Christmas enchantment. The play is Christmas-silly and Christmas-sentimental. What’s more, it’s true family-fare – appropriate for all ages. Take a break from “A Christmas Carol” and try this instead.”
“Night Before has come up with a new version of the holiday hassle, injected with a healthy dose of humor and a fairy tale dusting of surprises.”
“The Night Before the Night Before Christmas’ brings good cheer in the nick of time.”
“It’s a really interesting concept, and having it mostly take place in an airport gives the script this strange liminal feeling that will work great for that blurred fantasy/reality thing you are going for. The Christmas basically closes in on Lou is quite visceral in the story.”
“Cricket Daniel’s play isn’t going to change the world, but if you’re not quite feeling the spirit this holiday season, “The Night Before” can surely get you there. Not only that, it’s incredibly funny. The play is wonderfully written, and Cricket’s history in stand-up comedy is evident in her writing, as it’s replete with one-liners, quick jabs, and hilarious setups with smart punchlines.”
“This play is an amusing and heartwarming addition to this holiday season and will help remind you of the magic of the holidays.”
