With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, Bed-Headed Fred and Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of holiday cheer is a Charles Dickens (and Dr. Seuss) inspired romp.
A whimsical reinvention of Dickens‘ most beloved Christmas story in wacky rhymed couplets. With zoot fruited juices and binka bird geese, from Bed-Headed Fred to Timmy Loo Hoo, this tale of glorious holiday cheer is similar to something Dr. Seuss might have come up with - if he ever had his way with the story.
Also available in a full-length version.

There are also many other group roles like: Street people, The Ghost Skateboard Posse, Rock Band Members, Swooning Girls, Dancers, The Neds, The Cratchit Children, Lighthouse Keepers, Sailors, Party People and others.
It is expected in this play that actors may take on multiple roles. The roles of Narrator #1, Narrator #2, and The Scrooge would be very difficult to double. Actors can be doubled, tripled, (or even quadrupled) into most all of the other roles as the needs of any given production warrant. It is possible to perform this show with as few as 12 actors and perhaps fewer. Quick costume and character changes add to the whimsy of the show.
Victorian London at Christmastime.
