The Classic “Scrooge” meets the spirit of the oft times controversial Langston Hughes in this unique rendition of the Nativity.
...Its a tale of fantasy, The “Drama” that unfolds challenges rhyme and reason with special appearances from King Herod, his henchmen, his personal advisor Madam Cleo and the “Greek Chorus” who delight in the character roles they undertake for the sake of tormenting and uplifting the main characters. The characters are poignant and witty if not a bit out of skew in their “dreamlike” state. The modern day setting and biblical past merge seamlessly as they create an entirely new world of merged conventions and ideas. The cast is multiracial, the tale is universal. It’s an individual journey but a theatre experience to be enjoyed by all. No Ordinary Christmas is lifted by its mix of Original Contemporary Christian music with Traditional Gospel for an evening of rousing, spirited, touching, and at times whimsical delight. Featuring the musical arrangements of the Grammy Nominated CD Great Joy as performed by the Broadway Inspirational Voices.
EXCITEMENT!
