A CHRISTMAS CAROL
HOUSTON'S CENTER STAGE THEATER
11/30-12/9/2012
pCharles Dickens' classic gets the full Broadway treatment by the Broadway team of Alan Menken ("Beauty and the Beast," "Little Mermaid,"),nbsp; Lynn Ahrens ("Ragtime," "Seussical") and Mike Okrent ("Crazy For You," "Me and My Girl.")/ppbrCalled by The New York Times "a tonic for adults, and for children a transfixing journey," this spectacular musical extravaganza ran fornbsp; ten years at Madison Square Garden, complete with falling snow, exuberant dances by famed choreographer Susan Stroman, flying ghosts and a magnificent set which recreated the streets, graveyards, homes and buildings of Dickensiannbsp; London. In 2004, this version became the basis of an NBC Hallmark Entertainment special (teleplay adaptation by Lynn Ahrens) featuring Kelsey Grammer asnbsp; Scrooge, and an array of stars including Jason Alexander, Jesse L. Martin, Jane Krakowski, Geraldine Chaplin, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ruthie Henshall. Butnbsp; even without starry casts and spectacular trappings, this "A Christmas Carol" retains its emotional power and pure joy, thanks to the marvelously-told story by Ockrent and Ahrens, and the Menken/Ahrens score filled with beautiful melodies and emotional lyrics. In fact, their song "A Place Called Home" has become a holiday standard./ppTo find out how to order CDs in bulk quantity for resale purposes, contact the Marketing Department at MTI via email atspan style="text-decoration: underline;" /spana href="mailto:marketing@MTIShows.com"marketing@MTIShows.com.br/a/p

"Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.brbrThe story centers around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge--not only must he protect his tiny friendnbsp; Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes "his kind and his powerful heart." Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant, in a story that makes you laugh and cry. brp/ppFor complete information on this and other a href="http://mtishows.com/biography.asp?writerid=3399"Ahrens/a andspan style="text-decoration: underline;" /spana href="http://mtishows.com/biography.asp?writerid=3479"Flaherty/a shows, as well as linksnbsp;to purchase CDs, vocal selections and other publications, please
