The stories really surprise and delight with clever plot tie-ins. It’s not a traditional cabaret that just features a number of songs strung together. “Most people are surprised when they come to their first Red Line show because they are not sure what to expect,” said Murphy, who started as the company choreographer and has carried the executive producer title since 2009. Pink’s song “Raise Your Glass” is mixed with “Joy to the World” to kick off the show. “There will be some amazing pop/Christmas carol mash-ups and a show-stopping number that is sure to please the audience.” “This show will be a twist on Christmas Carol where our Scrooge character, Splooge will meet the spirits of past, present, and future (Johanna Walker, Jackie Daniels, and Josita Cuervo) to help get his mojo back,” said Jessica Ni Murphy, who is the executive producer and company choreographer for the group. To get in the holiday spirit, the Chicago Red Line presents “Bah! Humbug,” its comedic spin on the classic A Christmas Carol-a show mixing fun, edgy twists on the plot and fun, entertaining songs, featuring some gay caroling sidekicks.
