A Mulholland Christmas Carol

Full-Length Musical "Sidesplitting!" -L.A. Times Who knew the founders of the LADWP were so gosh darn musical?! This Dickensian account of the life of William Mulholland, the man who brought water to Los Angeles County, is bursting with catchy tunes about dams, county lines, and duplicitous legal documents. Though often overlooked or taken for granted, the historical figure of William Mulholland is largely responsible for uniting the disparate towns around Los Angeles into the vast county we know today- thanks to an engineering marvel of an aqueduct, a crew of scheming aristocrats, and a town full of well-meaning farmers. With the help of the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future- as well as the singing ghost of Teddy Roosevelt- audiences and Mulholland himself gain insight on how he went from being an honest employee of the LA City Water Company to the great Scrooge of the West. If you think a historical musical about the birth of this sprawling desert city sounds a bit dry... you're in for a surprise! (Cast: 7F, 11M)
