This crew needs more work. Very raw acting. Nothing wrong with that, but lines need to be memorized and cues picked up. Also, transitions between acts are deadly long and the show started twenty minutes late, tonight. Many actors are nearly inaudible. These are fixable problems.
It was an hour and a half until intermission, when i left because the theatre was freezing. sorry!
More rehearsal might fix the slow pace- actors taking lengthy internal pauses, slow reactions, swimming around on stage, seemingly not sure where to go.
The show would have benefited from some cuts - take out the so-so sketches and spend more time rehearsing the clever ones, like A Close Shave and The Last Noel.
There were some good laughs, though a few too many jokes about the north pole in Santa's lap for my taste.
