Has climate change got you dreaming of a White Christmas in LA this holiday season? 

Well, wake up and get your one-horse-open-sleigh over to the Colony Theater because the Troubies are back in the USSR (United States Stage Right), and ready to start a Revolution!

This year the award-winning Troubies have combined the classic 1954 film, White Christmas, with the Fab Four's 1968 epic double record, the White Album.  The result is a hippy, trippy, and-a-lil nippy - take on the beloved holiday musical extravaganza.  So may your days be merry and bright, and may you get to Burbank to rock with the Troubies at night!  Because Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Us and Our Monkey!
