THE SALVATION OF IGGY SCROOGE

Book by Larry Larsen and Eddie Levi Lee
Music by Edd Key
Directed by Missy Koonce
Co-Produced with UMKC Theatre
The Levin Stage

December 3 – 24, 2011

A cross between Dickens and a rollicking trip down pop culture memory land, this is a phantasmagorical evening of irreverent Christmas cheer. Iggy is a burned out misanthropic superstar who snarls through Christmas Eve until a top of the charts gaggle of ghosts shows up: rock legends Buddy Holly, Bob Marley and King Elvis come to boogie with Iggy and set his warped values straight. The rock icons cook up a jambalaya of reggae, Cajun, rockabilly and heavy metal numbers in this inventive Christmas offering that reverberates with saucy lampoonery, show stopping tunes and characters that never occurred to Dickens
