“This mile-a-minute, rap-fueled, DJ-spin take…is unlike anything you might imagine Dickens could be. And that’s a very good thing.”
-CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Makes for a refreshing take on the classic. The Q Brothers add an adaptive nerve that sets up a new story while also hitting its spirit."

-THIRD COAST REVIEW
"Will have you throwing your hands up in the air thumping and bumping to the music...
dancing in your chair and laughing with holiday cheer."
