***** Highly Recommended ***** After a five-year hiatus, Towle Theater’s "A Fabulous 50’s Christmas" is back!  I can’t quite believe it but the first time I reviewed this show was in 2004!  According to Director Jeff Casey, the show pays homage to the old Perry Como/Andy Williams TV specials.  It’s just not Christmas without "A Fabulous 50’s Christmas", a delightful holiday must-see!  4 BIG Spotlights
