The Holiday Music Fest

For this morning's Holiday Music Fest, we have a real treat.  As readers of these pages know, I'm a huge fan of the "Goes Wrong" folk -- who've done several stageplays, most recently the hilarious Peter Pan Goes Wrong which was on Broadway this year and I saw when I toured to Los Angeles, which I wrote about and posted the hour-long TV version (which also features David Suchet, TV's 'Hercule Poirot') here.  And they also had a wonderful half-hour television series, The Goes Wrong Show, from which I posted their episode The Spirit of Christmas the other day here.

Well, they did the same thing with A Christmas Carol -- a production that they  unsurprisingly called A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.  It's a hilarious, utterly lunatic joy, which spins insanely out of control in the 51-minute production.  And there are a couple of guests stars appearing, as well.  And impressive guest stars they are, too -- Sir Derek Jacobi and Diana Rigg, throwing themselves deep into the insanity.  (They have smaller roles in this than Suchet in Peter Pan, where he played the onstage Narrator, but both their performances are still notable throughout the production.)

Joyeux, joyeux.
