Cricket County Christmas – Musical 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! Cast: 5M, 5W. Age level: All ages. Playing time: About 40 minutes. Complete playkit with 10 scripts, 5 music books and rights to reproduce.
By Allen Koepke, Eddie Mcpherson You're invited to the social clash of the century as Ms. Delanie, a high-end wedding planner, is hired to direct a simple ceremony for two of Lickskillit's favorite lovebirds: Virgil and Margaret. But it's a wild romp before the nuptuals are exchanged. The bride doubts the groom's love, the in-laws are decorating the church with Christmas garland, the preacher arrives late with notes for a funeral service, and the groom ends up getting stuck in the best man's lizard trap the night before the wedding.
