Flawless Laser Ogden: A Christmas Westside Story

In the spirit of holiday cheer, Troubadour Theater Company has once again brought its unique blend of wit and whimsy to the stage with their 12th-annual holiday show, Walkin' in a Winter One-Hit-Wonderland. This year's production, directed by company founder and director Matt Walker, is an unsurpassed mash-up of Jean Shepherd and Leonard Bernstein, blending plot-driven extravaganzas with past Yuletide favorites.

The show's narrative follows the story of a hapless character, amiably known as Winter, who decides to quit his job with the Troubies and take up a new profession. However, things don't quite go as planned, and he finds himself unsuitable for a wide range of professions from bartender to blackjack dealer. Luckily, versions of Dickens's ghosts show up to render him unfit for duty.

The revue format is abandoned in favor of a narrative, and the story takes a familiar turn with a nod to Charles Dickens's classic tale, A Christmas Carol. The company's trademark wordplay, breaking of the fourth wall, and impressive acrobatics and choreography are woven throughout the evening, reminding audiences that the Troubies are makers of real musical comedies.

Fans of the troupe know what to expect: song parodies galore, plenty of reminiscing about past productions and in-jokey references to company members and past characters. The show is a true celebration of their work, with enough inside-baseball moments to keep even the most ardent fans entertained.

With a runtime of just 90 minutes, including no intermission, Walkin' in a Winter One-Hit-Wonderland is a quick and delightful holiday treat that's sure to delight audiences of all ages. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the Troubies' unique brand of humor and entertainment at the Falcon Theatre.
