Any other Massachusetts-ians astounded by this?
For those who don't know, A Christmas Carol has played at North Shore Music Theatre every Christmas season for the past nineteen years. It has become a tradition for many, many families, as well as a staple in the NSMT yearly lineup, and I always look forward to seeing it.
This year, however...well, here's a note about it from today's Boston Globe (courtesy of a friend):
North Shore Music Theatre will replace its annual production of "A Christmas Carol" with "Disney's High School Musical 2" for the upcoming holiday season. Barry Ivan, the company's artistic director and executive producer, will direct and choreograph the show, which is adapted from the hit movie. "High School Musical 2" runs Dec. 18-Jan. 11. "A Christmas Carol" will return in 2009.
To say that I'm blindsided by this would be a gross understatement. Seriously, Barry Ivan?
ETA: Hey, hey now, leave my witty subject alone. I spent at least twenty-five minutes on it.
