←Recommendations of The Long Christmas Journey to Wellesley and Weston

What a lovely journey it is. As we follow the Gallo family over decades we see characters grow, some sadly depart, others join, and we share some laughs and tears. It could be the story of anyone’s family, which makes it so relatable and so moving. Excellent choice for the holidays or any other time of the year.

Felt raw and real. I loved the characters, it all felt very wholesome!

A really sweet story that brings a feeling of comfort.

I loved it! It feels very familiar to my family and it makes the passing of time feel nice. Also, the dialogue between everybody was great.

A lovely play reflecting change and grief over the holiday season. It was incredibly well-written and beautiful.

I really loved this piece! The specificity in each individual character, the strong familial ties, and constant evolution of their states of being was such a unique and beautiful way to approach the idea of time. it's filled with love and loss, making for such a cathartic and relatable play on many levels.

The idea of time; growing old and losing loved ones is a scary thing, but this story addresses it in a delightful war. As someone with an ethnic and religious background, I found this so relatable and bittersweet!

What a sweet play! I loved the recurring ideas and phrases. Made the script so lovable that I didn't want it to end.

This play does a good job of taking the audience through time on stage. It also put me in the mood for Christmas. I liked reading about the family dynamics.

Minigan's riff on a Wilder play takes the idea of life's journey and makes it his own. The theatricality of the actors playing multiple generations as they take the wheel of their destiny causes the audience to ask what happens to the past when families move neighborhoods and up the social ladder? Strong and spare writing keeps the audience engaged in the universality of this story.
