In this perfectly profane and wickedly funny Christmas revue, a flurry of children's letters to Santa are brought to life by four performers. You know these kids, or maybe you were one of them: the boy who dances to his own unique carol, the girl aching to mother a dolly, the brutally naughty brats who insist they're really nice, and the needy, greedy and profoundly selfish boys and girls who misunderstand the true meaning of Christmas. Subversive and darkly comic, "Naughty/Nice" is an original holiday-themed musical revue for grown-ups that seeks to reveal the other side of Christmas.
