Second City "Twist Your Dickins Christmas Carol" @ Kirk Douglas Theater

Posted by:	bicoastal 02:13 pm EST 12/11/13

Caught this last night. It's semi-improv, mostly written out comedic riff on the Scrooge story. The cast overall was very funny, playing multiple roles in and out of the traditional storyline. The improv was mostly worked around things the audience written out before the show started, and there was also a bit asking the audience for situations and such for them to incorporate. I can't say the audience was very inspired, but the actors worked well with what they were given. I got a few good big laughs out of it and for half-price via Goldstar, it was a pleasant enough evening if not exactly the rollicking good time I hoped for.
