In “Ebbie”, an uncaring business woman meets with 3 Christmas ghosts in this updated version of “A Christmas Carol”.
Susan Lucci is terrific as Elizabeth Scrooge. I also like the way they updated the language of the original. For example, Jake Marley says, “You and me have got to conference”. Besides that, the costumes are fantastic. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, otherwise known as the perfume girls at Dobsons (a store Ebbie owns), both wear outfits to represent the decade they visit. At one point, they actually look like Madonna of the 80s! In addition, the Ghost of Christmas Present’s (a.k.a. the gift-wrap lady) dress looks like a present with a bow, and she sports a crown with scissors arranged around it.
To sum up, this is one of the best updates of this story that I’ve seen.
