Hell in a Handbag Productions: The Rip Nelson Holiday Quarantine Special

The Chicago camp outfit Hell in a Handbag picks up where 2010’s The Rip Nelson Halloween Spooktacular and 2016’s The Rip Nelson Holiday Spectacular left off, with our showbiz antihero—picture Paul Lynde, Charles Nelson Reilly and Rip Taylor put through a grinder—now wigging out in the hospital with hallucinations of grandeur. Ed Jones returns as the title character, Stevie Love directs, and various actors play stars including Bernadette Peters, Bing Crosby, Doug Henning and Charleton Heston. (Cerda, who also co-wrote the show’s songs with Scott Lamberty, drops in as Lucille Ball.) Tickets for each scheduled broadcast of the pre-filmed show cost $25.
