Good catch HB!  I was giving them the benefit of a doubt.  FYI I am NOT applying for the role of Tiny Tim LOL

I just briefly saw the thread, so you all may already know this. But, regarding whether this is for A Christmas Carol or not, this is from the SDC site directly:

If you haven't seen the show as of yet, there is only one song left in the show that had been there originally: Ave Maria, which is in the public domain.  Every other song has changed.  There is a bit of sampling and hints of the old songs, but all new music.  And, I believe, it may all be original as well.  It will take some getting used to, but I think it's also likely confirmation that copyrights were a major issue with it.

Are the songs any good?  I wonder who wrote them.

Not to speak ill of the dead, and I did like Brad Shrader, but I often spoke out against his love of Jukebox Musicals. Before his time, many SDC shows had a lot of original music. I wrote one for the Hatfield and McCoy talent contest in the Riverfront Playhouse. D.A.Calaway wrote several, and other SDC entertainers did as well. They also contracted original songs from outside writers. Everyone knows the FITH theme, the Flooded Mine song, and such. Those have survived and are memorable and unique. Do we really need to be doing Muppet Treasure Island? Seems lazy to me. Sorry about the rant. Pet Peeve.

My family and I watched Dickens on Saturday and enjoyed it. Yes, the songs are different, but they are still good. It is still a fantastic free show. Due to expected crowd levels, we bought a Show Lover's Pass and feel like we got our money's worth.
