Fezziwig's Feast

Disclaimer: This post is a plug for Fezziwig's Feast and I happen to be friends with someone involved with the show.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I went to Fezziwig's Feast.  This is kind of an interactive theater thing like We Gotta Bingo or Tony and Tina's Wedding (other Actors Theater shows) and it's an interactive performance of Dickens' A Christmas Carol.  If you don't know, Fezziwig is Scrooge's former boss and it's like Fezziwig is reading the story to you and people act it out and Fezziwig's family serves the food and all that. 

It's past christmas already, but I want you to keep this in mind for next year.  Also, if you buy the tickets several months ahead of time as I did you save some money. 

The show was a lot of fun.  And it kind of has a more casual feel and if you go to the show at the Guthrie that might be a little more stuffy.  Also, if you're not a big fan of interactive theater, there really isn't that much interaction.  You talk to the other characters when they serve food and a few other occasions, but it's not like you're going to be dragged onto stage to do some silly dance like in other shows.

Food was good too.  The menu was roasted pork with collard greens and polenta with bread pudding for dessert.  The food was very good (except the collards, but I've actually never liked collard greens).  One thing we discussed was that I had imagined that the food would kind of from the era.  You know?  Like we'd have a turkey like in the story.  And some sort of pudding or something more British.

So, go see it next year.
