This was an amazing adaptation of a Christmas carol! The music and lyrics were so moving. It was the perfect way to spend a December night. Hope this show is added to your yearly rotation.
It was a heartwarming performance of a classic tale that bears a wonderful message. I especially loved all the Christmas carols that were woven into the script and plot.
The production value was very high. The set, the vocals, the music, and the acting were able to bring the story to life. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
Very good tech and mics, good casting, Aaron as Scrooge was remarkable!
The unique presentation of a traditional story!
I liked that it was easy to hear and understand. I enjoyed the musical.
