Charles Busch

7 m., 4 f.

Unit set.

Irish O'Flanagan, hilariously played Off Broadway by the author, is quite a dame. A product of Depression era Hell's kitchen, she has spunk, talent and fabulous clothes. She lifts herself out of the slums and into a career as a nightclub singer, finally becoming so decadent that only a guardian angel can save her from herself.

"Has a heart of gold." NY Times.

"If Hollywood in the 1940s had adapted Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol to a Broadway setting, the result might have been something like Times Square Angel. Busch's Christmas opus offers the mix of fun camp, fast talk and top flight production values we've come to expect from him, with an overlay of Yuletide sentiment worthy of the best Hollywood dream machines. Funny and full of wisecracks." Gannett Westchester Newspapers.

FEE: $75 per performance.
