Review: The Devil Wears Pleather but Can’t Save ‘Christmas in Hell’


A detective (Dathan B. Williams) is on the case and brings up satanic organizations. (Inexplicably, the cop looks baffled by what he hears, as if he wasn’t the one who had brought up the subject in the first place.) The costume designer Tyler M. Holland seems to agree, dressing him in pleather and fetish accessories straight out of a hair-metal video. A lot happens, none of it memorable except perhaps to dedicated fans of inept musicals. And so the show goes, stumbling from one scene to the next with no evidence of coherence, shoehorning songs that advance neither plot nor characterization.
