Scrooge in Rouge November 23, 2008

'Scrooge in Rouge' is a Victorian-era music hall version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, in which 17 members of the Royal Music Hall 20-Member Variety Players have taken ill, leaving only Charlie Schmaltz, an animated character actor; Lottie Obligato, an Amazonian soubrette; and Vesta Virile, male impersonator extraordinaire, to play and sing all the male and female parts in the show.
