Want to wish yourself a Merry Little Christmas and a Happy New Year in a new way? Then for those with a bent for the uncommon, consider taking in a contemporary retelling of the Biblical Nativity story that honors the traditional New Testament birth of Jesus story, delivers fresh insights that are well-tagged to our current moments in time, and provides some broadly comic flourishes.

…Jacob Yeh (a loud, bully of a King Herod along with a range of comically accomplished other roles), Sophie Schulman (Drummer Boy among other humor-driven characters), and Rose McConnell (Tree and numerous roles), are key to the full enjoyment of Peekaboo! A Nativity Story.

Jacob Yeh is droll as (among other figures) Wilbur, Herod and Mary’s flaky mother, who spearheads a speed-diapering contest that terrifies her daughter.
