Chaps! a Jingle Jangle Christmas
"It's Christmas Eve, 1944. America's favorite singing cowboy Tex Riley and his troupe are late for a special holiday broadcast at the BBC in London. A frantic young producer grabs whomever he can and shoves them in front of the studio audience. The resulting performance is one that England will never forget! Full of Christmas songs and boy-howdy humor!"
I wanted something different then the typical "Christmas Carol" or "Snoopy's Christmas Special" this season... so I've been checking out the various holiday events in Central Florida. I came across this musical play at the Shakespeare Theatre and decided to check it out tonight. I must say it's the first Christmas show I've been to where the words "cigareets and whiskey and wild wild women" are sung loud and proud. Lots of talent in this production, and overall very well done. But I must say... I think I'm just not a fan of musicals. I get bored so easily unless they are extremely high energy with snappy numbers and flashy movement. This had none of that. Again, great play. Maybe I just need to admit that though a lover of the arts, I'm not a 'musical' type gal. If you want to check it out, go to www.orlandoshakes.org
