A Country Christmas Carol

Except for one mean and miserly old coot who somehow misses the whole point
Ring a bell?
It's Dickens' classic, dusted off and gussied up in a new country-western musical version
A Country Christmas Carol is ideal family holiday fare-fresh, engaging, often hilarious, and genuinely moving
It's a timeless tale of redemption and reunion, community and family, the kind of story that was made for country music
The score would make Patsy Cline proud, with show stopping ballads to snappy two-steps, sung by a feisty bunch who deal head-on with life's joys and heartaches
All the characters are here - with some nifty variations: Banker Scrooge, the man with the worst case of Christmas blues ever; and his secretary Bobbie Jo Cratchit
Along with a young widow and her two small children, Jane and Tim; Scrooge`s lovable ne'er-do-well nephew Dwight; Lavinia, a good-ol' -girl with big hair and an even bigger heart; plus some decidedly Country Christmas spirits
This is a down-home pleasure from start to finish. Easy staging
