About the Show
Some versions of Charles Dickens's
A Christmas Carol are like hot toddies: traditional, sweet, and heartwarming. Open Eye Theatre’s musical holiday offering,
Scrooge in Rouge, is like a boilermaker: a raucous holiday treat spiked with campy drag, “Naughty List”-worthy lyrics, and deliciously over-the-top performances calibrated to instantly kick the audience into higher spirits!
The Royal Music Hall Twenty-Member Variety Players production of
A Christmas Carol is in a pickle after seventeen members of the company suddenly fall ill. This leaves the three remaining members to plow on (so to speak) through a musical performance of the Dickens classic. Expect missed cues, unfamiliar characters, and costume mishaps aplenty. With cheeky puns and bawdy songs, this quick-change version of the Christmas tale is a hilarious holiday treat!
