Synopsis
Christmas is Comin Uptown
Peter Udell & Gary Sherman & Philip Rose
Published by Samuel French Inc
Large Mixed Cast
Like to see all those Dickensian characters dancing, jiving and swinging to a Harlem beat?
Scrooge is a Harlem slumlord about to foreclose an apartment house, a recreation centre and a church
But then his late partner and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future take him on their rounds
Finally, he comes upon his own grave after watching Tiny Tim's burial procession
Shedding his old life and his nightshirt, he orders Chinese food and Jewish deli (the only food available this Christmas morn) for the Cratchits
There's one addition to the classic tale - a rousing gospel number in a Baptist church
Otherwise the only difference is that Scrooge, Marley, the Cratchits and all are Black
