Don’t miss this joyful tribute to the holiday season. A mouse is stirring because Santa missed his house last year. Enjoy a wild ride with a rodent, an elf and a spunky little girl. As The Washington Post describes: “A momentum and ebullience worthy of the Pixar era animate this world-premiere play, whose story line involves a heist, a duel with rapiers, some hip-hop, a squirt gun, a perilous airplane flight and an elf’s stint as a secret agent.” Atlantic Stage, Myrtle Beach Mall, 10177 U.S. 17 N.
