"Scrooge No More" Coming to Christmas Town 2014

[Zachary]

A thread for Christmas Town 2014's new Globe Theater show, Scrooge No More.

Join washed up rock star Eddie Kneezer live on stage at the Globe Theatre as he is swept away by the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, who teach him the importance of family and friends being together at Christmas.

... what to make of this upcoming show.

I love that how during this part of the announcement, Carl Lum acted like "Let's just skip to the end." Why would the park announce something that they know the public is not going to go for?

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

If I had heard it, I would've said something, it would've been a hysterical laugh, or a very loud groan, just something to show my dis-approval.

 

[Griffon]

you? disapproving of something bgw? not a chance

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

You know the description sounds completely idiotic right? Maybe if had been just a simple remake of A Christmas Carol, I would approve, but the concept of this show sounds absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Jonquil]

And who the f*ck is Eddie Kneezer?

I hate to be the one to do this, but... remember the main character in Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" is named Ebenezer Scrooge? Well Ebenezer... Eddie Kneezer...

Yes. I'm afraid so.

^^^*screams

Personally I'm expecting a five pumpkin scare rating and a #FunChallenge difficulty level of 8/10.

 

[Pretzel Kaiser]

I expect the guest satisfaction to reflect LR as well.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

I expect the show to reflect LR in general.

And who the f*ck is Eddie Kneezer?

According to Google Images, this is Eddie Kneezer. And let's be real, Google is never wrong.

 

[MAZ]

I think the description is spot-on..."Washed up".

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

I can't wait to see the first substance abuse references in a Christmas Town show!

 

[UncleDuncan]

Scott, No More.

Please stop.

 

[pcblueeagle]

maybe Carl doesn't have any enthusiasm left or Scott has him blackmailed..

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Probably the second option.

 

[Party Rocker]

So the actual show, is there anything besides knowing the basic plot?

 

[Zimmy]

I am so tired of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" I can not see straight. I won't discuss how tired of Dickens I am...

I really don't know which is worse: yet another re-work of the book into a play, a musical version, or Scott's vision of said musical.
