A New Spin on "A Christmas Carol"

Thursday, December 06, 2007

The holiday season is underway and that means Christmas-themed entertainment. WNYC's Oliver Kramer usually says "Ba Humbug," but a new stage adaptation of Charles Dickens’ "A Christmas Carol," may have him changing his tune.

    Hey cool article...

    yeah i agree with you ... Only entertainment seems to be the buzzword among people... That to christmas eve is yet to come... Christmas carols are played at all churches..

    If you happen to be in NYC this December, there's a show that I saw last year that you've got to check out. It's called Holiday Wonders. It's like a mix of ancient, traditional Chinese dance and singing and western classical music and dance (like ballet and a brass ensemble). What's cool about it is the fusion. Somehow the improbable mix of the arts of the East and West strike out in a fresh direction. Anyhow, I'll be going again this year and I thought I'd spread the joy.
