Crazy Christmas Cabaret 2008

HAMLET’S PRIVATE DICK relates an adventure of Sherlock Holmes – “The Case of the Great Dane “  - in which the world’s most famous “private dick” is hired to solve the mystery of Hamlet’s father’s death!

The crazy plot
London, 1948. The London Toast Theatre is preparing to take a production of “Hamlet” on tour to Denmark. During rehearsals of the play, the actor manager dies in mysterious circumstances and Sherlock Holmes is hired to investigate a possible case of murder !

The crazy show
A lethal cocktail of mirth, murder mystery and mayhem , with a dash of “hygge”  ! The adventure takes Holmes away from his cosy Baker Street apartment to the creepy corridors of Kronborg Castle,  where the great dick is forced to confront his greatest nightmare  -  not Dr van Helsingør from Elsinore  -  but his arch enemy, Professor Moriarty !

The crazy company
Written by Vivienne McKee and hilariously performed by her cast of comedy actors , this year’s show is a completely side-splitting, top-hat tipping, danish-dipping, aisle-rolling, musical extravaganza!

SCREAM with laughter at our larger-than-life Dame, the irrepressible Andrew Jeffers.

GASP at the slapstick antics of our multi-talented handsome hero, the irresisitible David Bateson

SQUIRM with delight at the divine decadence of the delicious diva herself, Vivienne McKee

But most of all -
LAUGH and forget your winter blues when you enter Glassalen Theatre in Tivoli and enjoy the wacky world created by the Crazy Christmas Cabaret team .

You’ll be carried away by the songs and swinging sounds created by our musical director, Peter During, dazzled by the dances of our song n’ dance specialist, Niclas Bendixen,  and blown away by the outrageous costumes created by our brlliant award-winning designer, Kirsten Brink.

“The Crazy Christmas Cabaret should be seen on doctor’s orders...McKee & Co make us sing, clap and laugh our heads off – how can we clone the clowns from the London Toast Theatre ?” (Berlingske Tidende)

“To Boo or not To Boo ?” - that is NOT the question.
