Faded diva Esmé Massengill plays the role of miserly, drunken, bitter Esmé Scrooge in this Burkett-esque retelling of the Dickens classic.
As always with an improvised Daisy show, there is no set script, and in keeping with the vaudeville show theme, popular Christmas songs will feature in a burlesque opening, sultry jazz solos, and the merriment of Fezziwig’s party.
Little Dickens holds true to the heart of A Christmas Carol.
Ronnie Burkett is a legend of Canadian Theatre. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada, and in 2024, he received the Governor General’s Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts.
