A Theatrical Weekend: RFH’s ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ Opens

A theatrical kind of weekend is on tap in the Rumson-Fair Haven area, starting with opening night of the Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) production of Miracle on 34th Street on Friday.

Curtain time for the holiday classic is 7:30 p.m. on Friday with a Saturday show at the same time and a closing matinee on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Based on the classic 1947 movie and novel by Valentine Davies, the Tower Players’ version of the story of a white-haired bearded man named Kris Kringle and his embattled, tradition-inspired journey as a 34th Street Macy’s Santa, has been dubbed “part nostalgic throwback and part cutting-edge entertainment,” according to RFH staff.

Also, if you’re a fan of musicals, don’t forget that the Two River Theater’s production of Lerner and Loewe’s Camelot is ending its run this weekend at the Red Bank theater.

The modern version of the Broadway classic is running at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with 3 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday, which is closing day.

Curtain is 8:15 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday; and general admission is $20, $17 for students and seniors.
