For Immediate Release - Cassidy Theatre in Parma Heights is proud to announce auditions for: SCROOGE IN ROUGE An English Music Hall Christmas Carol Book and Lyrics by Ricky Graham Additional Material by Jeffery Roberson Other Interesting Bits by Yvette Hargis Original Music Composed by Jefferson Turner Directed by Keli Schimelpfenig • Music Direction by Heidi Herczeg When the “Royal Music Hall Variety Players” come to perform, “A Christmas Carol”, a bad case of food poisoning leaves only three surviving members to soldier on through a performance originally intended for a cast of twenty! If you loved Every Christmas Story Ever Told, get ready for Scrooge in Rouge! This quick-witted, cross-dressing version of the Charles Dickens classic, done in the style of the British Music Hall, abounds in bad puns, bawdy humor, and witty songs. “Scrooge in Rouge proves to be a delightful shared experience… encouraging waves of laughter with its well-timed one-liners and treasure trove of double-entendres.” – Richmond Times-Dispatch.
