‘A Christmas Carol, the Musical’ takes place on Christmas Eve in 1843 in London where Ebenezer Scrooge (Isidro Medina), an ageing miser who dislikes Christmas, first encounters the three ghosts of Christmas as a candle lighter-Past (Jillian Sainz), a charity show barker-Present (Bob Galindo) and an old beggar woman-Yet to Be (Giselle Galindo). “Nothing To Do With Me” That night at home, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, (Michael Cooling) who warns him to repent or face condemnation in the afterlife and informs him that three spirits will visit him during the night. “Link by Link” As Jacob Marley predicted, the ghosts visit Scrooge at one, two and three o’clock that night. They remind him of his past, show him the joys of Christmas Day in the present and foretell a grim future if he does not change his ways. Recognizing his faults, Scrooge wakes up on Christmas Day and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful “Happy Christmas” before spending the day reconnecting, making amends and sharing love with those who mean the most to him.

With the holiday season in full swing, now is the time to enjoy a holiday classic like ‘A Christmas Carol, the Musical’ with the family. It has music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and book by Mike Ockrent and Lynn Ahrens and is a delightful reminder of the magic of the season. From the first notes of “Hear the Bells,” the audience is surrounded by Christmas cheer and nostalgia from this classic production. For those who think they have seen it all, there is always something new to discover about the story. Show highlights include the hilarious “Link by Link” when the ghost of Jacob Marley and other ghosts visit Scrooge and “Fezziwig’s Annual Christmas Ball” in the Present, during the big Christmas party, which has an abundance of singing and amazing dance sequences. With outstanding performances by the entire cast, beautiful costumes and plenty of holiday cheer, ‘A Christmas Carol, the Musical’ is a production the entire family can enjoy together. It is definitely a must-see. The show is shorter than expected and runs two hours with a 15 minute intermission.
