Mark Burrows has crafted a delightfully humorous and often thoughtful musical for the holidays. Humbug! is based on Dickens' A Christmas Carol with the action taking place in the present-day classroom of grumpy teacher Ms. Ebenezer, who has lost her charm and spunk, to say the least, as an educator. Through three special visitors – the janitor, the coach and the music teacher – Ms. Ebenezer rediscovers her first love of teaching and through the big heart of Bobby Cratchit, she is reminded of the importance of how we teach our children by the lives we live. Though it mentions the holiday vacation, this musical couldeasily be performed any time of year. The musical contains reproducible student parts and comes with rhyming dialogue, staging suggestions and accompaniment/performance CD. Songs include: Humbug • Humbug Overture • Learn, Live, and Look • Ms. Ebenezer Drives Us Nuts • Ms. Ebenezer, Grumpy Pants • The Day the Music Teachers Run the Show • Through the Eyes of a Child. Performance Time: 30 minutes.
