Legendary entertainers Kenan and Kel made theatrical history when they broke down the fourth wall, and then, to the consternation of the set designer, broke down the second and third walls as well. Experience the magic of the stage with today's Groupon. For $20, you get one ticket to the Pittsburgh CLO's performance of A Musical Christmas Carol at Byham Theater ($46 value).

A Musical Christmas Carol encapsulates the jovial spirit and yuletide magic that comes with the holiday season, as this production infuses the classic Dickens tale with seasonal melodies. Witness the timeless story performed by the Pittsburgh CLO's immensely talented cast, with Pittsburgh's own Tom Atkins starring as the cantankerous Ebenezer Scrooge. Theater attendees will experience the production's first-rate set design and spectacular special effects, from the appearance of the Ghost of Christmas Future to a lightsaber duel between Scrooge and Bob Cratchit taken from Dickens' controversial alternate ending.
Opened in 1904, the Byham Theater is a spectacle in itself, as theater-goers will note from the landmark's original mosaic-tile floor and restored Cherub Lobby. The Pittsburgh CLO is a prestigious, nonprofit cultural institution, so you can be sure that your inner theater buff's inner philanthropist's conscience will be pleased.

The Groupon Guide To: Skeletons
In Mexico, today begins the celebration of Día de los Muertos —Day of the Dead. Families gather to revere departed loved ones, and everyone surrounds themselves with delicious candied skulls and other festive skeleton imagery, making Day of the Dead the safest time of year to encounter a skeleton. But what should you do if you meet a skeleton on one of the other 249 days of the year?
- Lull the skeleton to sleep by playing a soothing xylophone melody on its ribcage.
- Trick the skeleton into pursuing you into a dog park, where he will be hastily disassembled and buried.
- If famed film director Tim Burton is around, he will likely become so enraptured by the skeleton that he will try to marry it.
- Donate the skeleton to a local medical college so that students can use it for their annual bone fight.
- Trick the skeleton into being eaten by a different skeleton—he's clearly starving!
