Matinee

School assemblies are a hundred dollars a dozen, so we needn’t tour them all. Let’s sample one or two. Jingle Jury is the trial of Jim Dandy, who doesn’t believe (the jury sings about their dislike of his meanness as an introduction). He raps “Christmas Spirit” about his skepticism. Despite characters from ‘A Christmas Carol’ (“Home“), magi, reindeer and Santa appearing, the songs are few–though the original ones are well written. So, if you’re ready for an evening of missed cues, babies crying, and uncertain talent… you could do worse.
