'Who Brought the Humbug?'

This brand-new holiday show comes from Twin Cities tapper Ricci Milan, one of the founders behind the internationally touring Rhythmic Circus. A riff on Ebenezer Scrooge's favorite expression, the show stirs mystery theater with a holiday revue — will joy and holiday cheer prevail over grumpiness? It also boasts a party-like atmosphere with top-notch tap dancing, a seven-piece horn band, Minneapolis funk, beatboxing and more. Guest dancers and musicians will appear each night, including Herb Johnson III, Kat Perkins and Esera Tuaolo. (7:30 p.m. Thu.-Sat., 1:30 p.m. Sat., 4 p.m. Sun., through Dec. 16, the Lab Theater, 700 N. 1st St., Mpls., $30-$45, 612-333-7977, thelabtheater.org.)
