A Broadway Christmas Carol at MetroStage

A Broadway Christmas Carol

MetroStage
1201 North Royal Street Alexandria

A MetroStage holiday tradition. A delicious cross between the classic Dickens' tale and uproarious song parodies of 33 of your favorite Broadway show tunes by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim and many more. A "can't miss way to ensure a merry holiday season" with "infectious hilarity." Critics have called it ""a true triumph...wickedly funny...irreverent...riotous." Great music, great fun, and a great redemptive message to share with family and friends during the holidays.

Thru - Dec 22, 2013

"...In his money-counting office, Scrooge, given a far deeper characterization by Boyer than you'd expect, grabs a top hat and cane to sing, "I'm in the money / I'm getting rich by taking money from you - bah!" (apologies to composer Harry Warren, lyricist Al Dubin and "42nd Street"). As a flirtatious charity lady, Stephens shimmies and flashes her ruffled bloomers as she sings to Scrooge, "Hey, big spender / Spend a little dime on the poor" (riffing on Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields's "Sweet Charity"). Later she wears a Mae West get-up, draped in chains as Marley's ghost, intoning, "clankety, clankety, clankety, boom, boom, boom." Sondheim's "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" gets twisted into the Act II curtain raiser; Sunday nearly strangles himself to sound like little Tiny Tim."

"...For anyone tired of the 'same old, same old' holiday offerings, or others looking for something to add to the tradition fare, A Broadway Christmas Carol is a joyous and wonderfully wrapped holiday treat."

Imagine the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, but instead of the traditional ageless tale, song parodies from 33 Broadway shows act as the guiding force of the production. Throw in a Phantom of the Opera masked piano player, and Broadway Christmas Carol provides a hilarious theatrical experience that’s not to be missed.
