SYNOPSIS: A delightfully irreverent take on the Dickens classic, set in the ragtime music world of rough-and-tumble New York, circa 1911.
Ebenezer Scrooge has been recast as an embittered woman named Evelyn who runs her sweatshop with an iron fist, but slowly opens her heart when visited by a sarcastic Jewish Ghost of Christmas Past and a blunt Gospel-singing Ghost of Christmas Present.
With Joplin-like syncopation, the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future carry the miserly Mrs. Scrooge from the tough life of immigrant tenements to the amber glow of the Gilded Age. A funny and moving show that puts a new twist on a holiday classic with rousing production numbers featuring music of Irving Berlin and George M. Cohan like The Streets of New York.
Performance Dates: November 26 through December 5.
