Combining elements of Charles Dickens' classic and Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, composer/writer William A. Reilly's A Chicago Christmas Carol places Ebenezer Scrooge in 1908 Chicago among unionizers, homeless mothers, corrupt cops and streetwalkers. Directed by Brent Beerman, the musical sees Scrooge not as a cranky old man, someone to be laughed at and perhaps pitied, but as a man who holds the power of life and death in his greedy hands.

Compleat Female Stage Beauty: Bawdy, Historical Comedy-Drama by Jeffrey Hatcher

Full Price:
$20.00 - $30.00

In 1661, when only men played women on England's theater stages, Edward Kynaston reigned supreme as London's most celebrated leading lady. But when actress Margaret Hughes persuades King Charles II to allow actual females to take the stage, the king's own courtesan, Nell Gwynn, and Kynaston's former dresser, Maria, become stars while Kynaston's career may be cut short -- spurring him down a path of revenge and reinvention. Jeffrey Hatcher's hilarious, yet poignant play was also adapted into the film Stage Beauty with Billy Crudup and Claire Danes. Learn More

As most theater goers know small theater in LA is the proverbial box of chocolates as you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes you roll the dice and end up with a show you want to escape at intermission and at other times it's a pleasant surprise as this show turned out to be. The players are "actors" with a capital "A" and this is a show that could be in a much bigger stage with a cast of 14 characters. Do not miss, this is the jewel you've been looking for.

Description

Not only Marley, but the ghosts of many sordid individuals, help the spirits of Past, Present and Future turn Ebenezer Scrooge from his pitiful, angry existence to one of great joy. Taking part of its premise from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, writer and composer William A. Reilly and Lyricist Gary Lamb turn this timeless classic into a musical for all times. With the inclusion of whores, police on the take, a recently homeless mother and her young daughter as well as tiny tim being a teenage unionizer, the story we all remember has been re-imagined into a musical that is no longer an English tale, but an American institution.
