Theatre Review #2: A Christmas Carol

I was very impressed with this production of A Christmas Carol.   It's always a joy to see Chamblee Ferguson, as he is a fearless actor who captures every essence of a character. The production as a whole was very grand.  The set was very versatile and set the tone for the show as a whole. The way they incorporated the bed was very interesting as it added levels and movement throughout the show. The show kepty attention the whole time, and I never checked out. I thought the music was incorporated into the traditional play very well. There were a few times when I wish they hadn't been so modern (ex. Ghost of Christmas Present).  The levels in the show, regarding tone, were incredible. Between the peaceful yet intimidating nature of Christmas Past, the peppiness of Christmas present, and the creepy honesty of the Ghost of Christmas yet to come.  I thought the show as a whole was full of talent and was incredibly well directed and well executed. I highly suggest seeing it.
