Here are links to a pair of reviews of two of the seasonal shows currently playing that I have in the New York Post today:

Black Nativity playing at the Theatre at St. Clement's
By the end, when the pastor delivers an impassioned sermon about the real meaning of Christmas, you'll be stirred to make a donation to the offering plate that greets you at the door.

A Child's Christmas in Wales playing at Irish Rep
All told, though, it's a charming 70-minute holiday diversion. By the end, when you're invited to sing along to Christmas tunes, you'll find it hard to resist.
