Some versions of Charles Dickens’ 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 celebration 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!
CONTENT AWARENESS
SCROOGE IN ROUGE is a bawdy musical riff on Charles Dickens’ classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL. It features playful humor and some double entendres with sexual innuendo, in the spirit of British humorists Monty Python and Benny Hill.
Originating in saloon bars within pubs during the 1830s, music hall was a type of British theatrical entertainment that enjoyed great popularity from the early Victorian era, beginning around 1850, through the Great War. Music hall (like North American vaudeville) involved a mixture of rousing songs, sketch comedy, speciality acts, and variety entertainment.
### Free parking is available in the lot on the southeast corner of 24th Street and Portland Avenue, courtesy of Lutheran Social Services.
Twin Cities Fun Here We Come Meet-Up is attending on December 18 if you miss this date.
