"... Adapted by Tom Isbell (“Teddy Roosevelt and the Treasure of Ursa Major”) from the Newbery Honor-winning book by Rodman Philbrick, the play centers on Homer Figg, a 12-year-old orphan in Civil War America. After his 17-year-old brother is illegally sold into the Union Army, Homer sets out on a rescue mission that will require him to hobnob with con artists, Confederate soldiers, Underground Railroad leaders and other memorable types. Determined and resourceful, if given to stretching the truth, Homer ultimately saves his brother, and helps turn the Battle of Gettysburg, too."

"... MetroStage presents Kathy Feininger’s A Broadway Christmas Carol, the classic Dickens tale retold through parodies of famous Broadway show tunes. Michael Sharp directs and choreographs this silly, riotous show, with musical direction by Jacob Kidder and Howard Breitbart."

MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended

"... MetroStage has brought back its nutty seasonal chestnut, A Broadway Christmas Carol, a retelling of the classic story as an entirely vaudevillian send up. Classic Broadway standards are cleverly and groan-inducingly interspersed into the show, from Annie to Sweeney Todd, and many in between, offering musical-lovers a buffet of mixed genre entertainment."

In an age of uncertainty, sometimes it’s nice to get exactly what you expect. The main ingredients in MetroStage’s holiday show, back for a third season at this cozy theatre space near Old Town, Alexandria, are right there in the title A Broadway Christmas Carol: your favorite showtunes plus your best-loved Dickens. It’s possible, in theory, that a Christmas show might someday blaze some new theatrical trail. But ’tis the season for the sweetly familiar, and there’s much fun to be had on this fast bumpy ride down snowy streets well traveled.
