    “ I know I'm not the only one who appreciates a twisted holiday tale, but this one is especially delicious, dark, and side-achingly funny. A necessary addition to any holiday-themed festival. Also extra credit for a reference to an alicorn. ”

    “ A perfectly delightful tale of Christmas viciousness. I've seen this twice now and it never fails to be hysterical. The character of Becky is wonderfully, gleefully murderous and the Elf is a hapless accessory to the crime. A proven way to cut through all the Christmas treacle. ”

    “ I love this play. Dark, twisted, diabolical, and absolutely hysterical. Was able to see Broward College's production and laughed out loud constantly. Just brilliant writing. If you are looking for a Christmas play that will 100% earn you a lump of coal in your stocking, you need to produce this Becky's Xmas Wish. ”
