"Since being published more than 175 years ago, Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol has spawned hundreds of film, TV, and theatrical adaptations. The timeless story of Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited on Christmas by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, is clearly beloved, and Arizona Broadway Theatre's production of the 1994 musical adaptation is well cast, smartly directed, and a highly entertaining and memorable musical version of Dickens' story....The score, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens is stellar. ...Jamie Michael Parnell is excellent as the heartless Scrooge...Kurtis Overby's direction is smart and his staging is exceptional, as is the set design by Christian Fleming...Probably just about everyone knows how A Christmas Carol ends, but the popularity of Dickens' tale proves that it never gets old. Arizona Broadway Theatre's production of the family-friendly musical adaptation isn't just highly entertaining, big, colorful and bold; it's also full of life and beautifully gets to the heart of this classic tale and the emotional story of Scrooge's journey to redemption." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
