WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Looking at Christmas is a twenty-first century New York City holiday tale - the story of a young, recently fired writer who stumbles upon young, newly arrived actress on Christmas Eve while taking in the famed holiday window displays along Fifth Avenue. From Tiny Tim toting a ray gun to an eager elf with an eye for Mrs. Claus, the familiar characters behind the windows come to life in the most unexpected ways as the pair passes by each display in this quirky love story.

Fun Holiday Fare
I didnt know what to expect from this, but Im so glad that I went. Well-acted, unconventional, and funny! Its not hard to figure out the ending, but the journey is a carol-filled good time.

RE:So much fun!
Perfect holiday show. Post shopping or pre cocktail this is such a winner.

Both amazing shows but Looking At Christmas is the one that I keep thinking about and enjoying.
So good!!!

In Steven Banks' Looking at Christmas, playing at the Flea, a man and a woman embark on a journey through Manhattan to take in the seasonal displays in department store windows after meeting cute in front of Bloomingdale's on Christmas Eve. However, after the incipient couple gazes at the tableaux that celebrate the season, the figures in each of the windows come to life, offering commentary on their existence and the vagaries of their legacies. Unfortunately, this exercise in holiday-time revisionism often proves to be anything but merry, given Banks' strained attempts at humor.
At first, theatergoers root for would-be novelist John (Michael Micalizzi), after learning that he has just bee[...]
