Mashable

In its glorious extravagance, and its cheerful disinterest in apologizing for same, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey captures a certain essence of the Christmas spirit.

Entertainment Weekly

A sprawling musical extravaganza whose candy-colored, dandily overstuffed revelry spills over with joy and jubilance and every other happy J-word.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Prepare for a new magical journey with dance sequences and magic machinery! An aging inventor loses his belief after tragedy strikes him, until his niece comes to visit and brings an optimistic light to his already bleak world. A fun-filled, festive and fabulous Christmas tae that brings us a plethora of talent in both song and style!
