NEW YORK, Nov. 9 – Tony-award winning director Chase McHuan’s much-anticipated stage show, Ebenezer Scrooge Presents: Matt Pinfield’s Holiday Extravaganza, is undoubtedly this winter’s most coveted ticket. The one night only event, scheduled for New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom on December 2nd, sold out in a matter of minutes, leaving many would-be concert goers on an unexpected scavenger hunt for Yuletide cheer.
With second-hand tickets selling in upwards of $6000 on Craigslist, a popular classifieds-listing site, most can’t justify, or for that matter, afford, to dish out such a large sum of cash, especially in today’s economy. Erin Kent, a single mother of three, is one of those enraged by the price gouging. With her youngest child, Robert, crying by her side, Erin makes no attempt to hide her feelings: “I find it absolutely disgusting that there are individuals out there who show no regard to the message of selflessness intended by [Ebenezer Scrooge Presents: Matt Pinfield’s Holiday Extravaganza]. Fueled by greed, these scoundrels are only out for their own financial gain. Scrooge would be sick. I know I am.”
After days of widespread protesting, the public finally received the news they’d been waiting for. In a televised address, Chase McHuan announced a second installment of Matt Pinfield’s Holiday Extravaganza, stating he felt a sense of "duty" to "re-affirm the good in this world.” McHuan also urged those viewing to “let go of any contempt,” and to win over those lacking in spirit “one smile at a time.”
While Matt Pinfield and Leslie Fram will reprise their roles as Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim, respectively, part two of Matt Pinfield’s Holiday Extravaganza will see a change in the musical line-up, featuring the melodies of David Gray, Pete Yorn, and Company of Thieves.
The event is taking place Sunday, December 6th, at Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom.

COMPANY OF THIEVES
Company of Thieves are rooted in Chicago, IL, where vocalist Genevieve Schatz and guitarist Marc Walloch launched the co-ed indie rock group after striking up a friendship at Union Station. Mike Ortiz climbed aboard to handle drum duties, and the trio formed a unique sound that embraced both Fiona Apple's articulate songwriting and Denali's altera-rock muscle.
