“In the quest for an ideal holiday entertainment for adults, Striking 12 strikes gold.”
– Los Angeles Times
“Part rock concert, part musical, Striking 12 uses convention for kindling and leaves us all basking in the glow of the hippest holiday show in recent memory. Striking 12 is too hot to miss.”
– San Jose Mercury News
“Thoroughly entertaining and musically rich.
– Oakland Tribune
“This holiday-themed show by the pop trio GrooveLily is an inventive presentation that is part theater piece, part concert, and wholly entertaining.”
– Philadelphia Inquirer
Combining pop-rock, musical comedy and old-fashioned uplift with a healthy dose of 21st-century skepticism, Striking 12 is a unique hybrid of musical theater and live concert performed by celebrated pop-rock trio GrooveLily. From the Tony Award-winning writer Rachel Sheinkin (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) comes this story of a Grumpy Guy who decides to avoid the hectic, loveless world on New Year’s Eve, until he’s visited by an incandescent salesgirl with the promise to chase away his winter doldrums.
