A DON'T HUG ME CHRISTMAS CAROL IS COMING BACK TO THE NEW CENTURY THEATRE IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Back for its 7th year after selling out every show the last 6 Decembers, the award-winning musical comedy,

A DON'T HUG ME CHRISTMAS CAROL is returning to the New Century Theatre, downtown Minneapolis, from November 22nd thru January 5th.

  

A DON'T HUG ME CHRISTMAS CAROL is a hilarious Minnesota spoof of Charles Dickens' classic story, "A Christmas Carol."

It's Christmas Eve in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Clara, tells her he's skipping Christmas, he storms out of the bar, goes snowmobiling across the lake, falls through the ice, and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he's visited by folk legend, Sven Yorgensen, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Sven takes Gunner (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" only very different.

 

Featuring 17 original songs including: Gunner Fell Into an Ice Hole, The Wheel is Turnin' but the Hamster is Dead,  I Love You More Than Football, Gramma Cut the Christmas Cheese, and more.
