Join Beijing Playhouse for song and dance this Christmas. A fairy tale for the children with a whole level of humor for the adults--a munchkinized Christmas musical comedy for adults and children alike. There's no over-the-rainbow or follow-the-yellow-brick-road in the crazy show. Heck, there are no rainbows! And the bricks aren't even yellow! Be prepared for a whole new zany twist on a classic story.
In true British comedy tradition, audience members are invited to cheer and boo and hiss as Dorothy, Tin Guy, Not So Brave Lion and Scaredy Crow Man find their way to Santa, uh, I mean, the Wizard himself. Glenda the Good Witch, with a penchant for cigars and martinis, helps them along. The Wicked Witch of the East tries to stop them at every turn. Munchkins and flying monkeys all help Dorothy and her friends discover the magic of Christmas. |
