A Holiday Classic Is Born!
For those fortunate people who had a chance to witness any of the eight performances of “Sista Scrooge”, you’ll pretty much know what I’m about to say.
But,
for
those
who
have
not
caught
this
fantastic
show,
read
on.
This
will
be a
unique
holiday
season
for
most
New
Yorkers,
especially
after
the
tragedies
of
September
11th,
but
as I
sat
at
the
rear
of
the
Producer’s
Club’s
“Grand
Theatre”,
this
past
Sunday,
a
joyous
warmth
swept
over
me
because
of
the
magnificent
and
colorful
performances
I
had
just
witnessed.
I
could
only
wish
that
every
one
of
our
New
Yorkers
could
have
been
there
with
me
at
that
time!
With
“Sista
Scrooge”,
I
feel
the
true
spirit
of
New
York
and
the
spirit
of
this
holiday
season.
This
is a
time
when
we
all
should
give
thanks
for
the
simple
gift
of
life.
No
other
theatrical
story
displays
this
concept
greater
than
Charles
Dickens’
“A
Christmas
Carol”.
But,
with
this
version
(I
might
add
I
stayed
away
from
the
rehearsals
purposely
to
get
a
fresh
view),
never
has
it
been
displayed
with
such
hilarity
and
rip-roaring
fun.A great big holiday shout-out goes to both casts who were flawless (after the first show’s shaky start) and for writer/director, Ah-Keisha McCants with her creative imagination, beautiful songs and seamless choreography. In closing, all I want to say is if you’re breathing and have a pulse, get down to the Producer’s Club and catch this show!! New Yorkers and anyone who is visiting our great city, you'll have the time of your life. This will make a great holiday gift to anybody who wishes to spread love, joy and season’s greetings to one another! Happy Holidays!
