On the Friday evening after Thanksgiving, we kick off the holiday season here at the Mesa Arts Center with a theatrical retelling of The Man Who Killed Santa Claus. Audiences love it. But never so much as this last year when it was performed for the first time as a musical.
Mayor Giles sits down with the show's creator and writer, Brian Nissen, the producer, Mark Arnett, and the musical director Emily Susan Pack, and asks them how they did it. If you've only heard the non-musical version, you haven't really heard this true Mesa story. Disclaimer: No actual Santa Clauses were harmed in the production of this musical.
