There’s nothing like a sweet, wholesome holiday musical…. And Christmas in Hell is nothing like a sweet, wholesome holiday musical. And Christmas in Hell is actually nothing like it.
On Christmas Eve, little 6-year-old Davin is mistakenly taken down to Hell. When he returns, not only has he missed Christmas, but he is devilishly changed. To set things right, his father embarks on a bizarre odyssey that eventually leads him down to the bowels of Hell itself where he makes a wager with Lucifer he can’t possibly win. Christmas in Hell, with book, music, and lyrics by Gary Apple (The Simpsons) is a wild, irreverent and surprisingly touching musical comedy about the absurd lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love.
