"Kate and Lucy are two deluded BFF’s in New York City living off of Chinese food and their parents' check books," according to press notes. "On the 5th day of binge‐watching reality TV, Kate takes a 'How Cool Are You?' quiz in Razzle-Dazzle magazine with devastating results. Thus begins a race that shakes up their world and ultimately reinvents what it means to be cool."
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
