 Script by Eddie McPherson. Music and lyrics by Lauren Mayer. A musical version of Christmas in Cricket County. Come on over and stay a spell! The original best-selling play, with its hilarious culture clash between the prissy and proper city-slicker cousins who visit their redneck cousins "in the sticks," inspired this new musical just bustin' with laughs and darn good tunes. Six original songs with piano accompaniment are included: "What Christmas Means to Me," "Remember the Money," "Whatever Happened to Pete?" "Ain't No Use for Fightin' and Fussin'," "Too Much Money (Ain't Good for No One)" and "The Story 'bout Mary and Joe." Features a range of styles from good ol' twangy country tunes to highbrow, pseudo-classical pieces by the city cousins. There's even hoe-down music for optional simple square dance choreography. Includes both solo and ensemble parts. A traditional Nativity concludes the fun. We reckon you'll love these down-home, foot-stompin' tunes!
