It Came Upon a Midnight Queen
Description
A good holiday show takes that warm, gooey feeling that bubbles inside most of us during the holiday season and brings it straight to the surface. Damn if this goofy tale about a recession-stressed small town in crisis didn't leave us applauding with joy. When a big company threatens to level the local community center, a ten-year-old makes a YouTube plea to Nick Nolte to help her stage a Christmas spectacular. When she becomes a viral video star, the locals rally around her retelling of the death and resurrection of Christ, set (naturally) to the music of Queen. In the lead role, Casey Pilkenton charms our socks off, as does her cohort Chris Froseth as her unflappable bestie, Dawayne.?—Jason A. Heidemann
