Much closer to Hello, Dolly! than your usual Christmas special, Mrs. Santa Claus joins two distinct genres: holiday family fare and the Broadway musical. This song-studded extravaganza was especially designed for TV by Broadway legend Jerry Herman, whose songs are just as incorrigibly catchy on the small screen as they are on the stage. Herman uses one of his favorite leading ladies from the theater, Angela Lansbury, in a tale of Santa's "invisible wife," who takes the reindeer off for an impulsive week-long adventure in New York City. Unexpectedly becoming a suffragette and labor organizer (it's set in the early 20th century), Mrs. Claus twinkles merrily at all who cross her path. This is a problem, dramatically speaking, because what's compelling about someone who twinkles all the time? The costumes are by Bob Mackie (duh), the choreography by Chicago director Rob Marshall. And just try to get the melodies out of your head. --Robert Horton

 good dvd but why cost so much January 1, 2009
I liked the movie...bit much on the social issues though but why does it cost over 50 dollars
 Delightful Christmas Movie February 16, 2008
I watched this originally because of Angela Lansbury. She does not disappoint in this lovely, heart-warming movie and all the supporting players back her up beautifully. The story is not the core of the film but the music and dancing makes up for any small discrepancies with the script. If you like musicals you'll love this. I intend to play this every Christmas in the same way as I play the original version of "A Christmas Carol".
Angela Lansbury IS Mrs. Santa Claus January 14, 2008

Since I first saw this movie on tv I have wanted to own it. My husband and I love Angela Lansbury and love Christmas/Yule shows. This is excellent. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it and like the seasonal movies.
Mrs. Santa Claus -- absolutely delightful! January 14, 2008
Mrs. Santa Claus is absolutely delightful. It's styled like an old time Broadway Musical and perfect for all ages. My 90 year old mother-in-law and my 2.5 year old granddaughter adored it. It was actually written by a Jewish guy and the words & music were written by another Jewish guy (Jerry Herman who wrote the scores to Mame, Hello Dolly and La Cage aux folles). In addition to the wonderful score, it has Rob Marshall's choreography. The guy who plays the stable keeper is now playing Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys. It also features a young version of the daughter from Grounded For Life who has a fantastic voice. If you have kids, you may recognize Michael Jeter (Arvo) who plays Mr. Noodle on Elmo's World. Angela Lansbury plays Mrs. Santa Claus. There's a lot of talent and good entertainment there. It's now on my list of Christmas movies to watch each year. However, my granddaughter won't let me put it away just yet.
 A bit disapointed October 11, 2007

Entertained, though not too much inspired, Christmas story. The music and Jerry Herman's songs and Angela Lansbury's habitual captivation justify the vision of this history, a little bit foolish.
