Spencer (whose Tony-nominated turn in “Next To Normal” remains one of my favorite theatrical memories) hits all the rights notes. He imbues The Preacher with so much heart and finds the right balance between comically befuddled dad and genuinely wounded spouse. His reedy voice is perfectly suited for “Offer It Up,” one of the show’s standout numbers.

J. Robert Spencer's heartfelt contributions as Diana's husband, Dan, create a thoroughly sympathetic account of a man bobbing helplessly in the whirlpool of his spouse's troubles. Spencer provides a superb account of a husband who, as he observes in song, has done right by Diana, waiting patiently for the sky to clear.

'Waiting On Christmas' by J. Robert Spencer is charming and heartfelt. It deserves to become a Christmas standard in its own right, and it garners two giant thumbs up!
