The twist with this particular take on it was that it was told from the perspective of Charles Dickens, as he was writing it, with the performers doubling as thought-streams or muses in addition to their multiple character and environmental roles, with the story being developed, argued over, changed and performed as he writes it. Definitely a fun show, and well-performed. As for why I'm talking about it here, one of the performers had a very Pinkie Pie quality to her, very random and off-the-wall. Sealing that thought was when they had to make various night-time noises, and she cut loose with chicken noises, straight out of "Luna Eclipsed", and did this at least twice more through the production. Made my honey and I both wonder what a MLP:FiM production of "A Christmas Carol" (or "A Hearthwarming Night Carol", as the case would likely be) would come out."}
