A crazy, cracking Christmas caper, bursting with big Dickens energy

If panto makes you nauseous and Christmas fappery gives you the ick, then head to The Wardrobe Theatre this season for the new adults- only musical mash-up, Moulin Scrooge! writes NATALIE BANYARD
WHAT do you get when you merge together festive classic Scrooge with musical phenomenon Moulin Rouge?
This year's crazy, cracking Christmas caper at The Wardrobe Theatre - that's what!
This Christmas, The Wardrobe Theatre and Weston's Front Room Theatre team up for Moulin Scrooge; a brand new belly-laughing, belly-dancing, mashup musical comedy with big Dickens energy!
Playing at Old Market's Wardrobe Theatre from November 21 to January 17, Moulin Scrooge promises to be your best Christmas show night out - past, present or yet to come!
"It is definitely for those who want something different to the usual Christmas offerings," says Adam Fuller, director of Moulin Scrooge and co-creative director of Front Room Theatre. "It's an anti-Christmas show, if you will. Audiences can expect a lot of laughing, silliness, parody, and a saucy old time!"
Glitz! Showgirls! A giant, gaudy elephant! Moulin Rouge, the flamboyant nightclub-cum-bordello writhing with tassels and tuberculosis, is the number one pleasure-spot where every vivacious Victorian with a taste for the unrestrained wants to be this Christmas Eve.
Everyone, that is, except stuffy old Ebby Scrooge a greedy, hateful miser who detests merriment.
