Chris Hutchison as Marley and David Rainey as Scrooge in Rob Melrose's new adaptation of Dickens'to be proud of. It is Broadway worthy.
The adults near me had a lovely time. Some, I think, were surprised at the turn of events, and it seemed as if they might have been watchingis its own brand and has been seared into our consciousness since its phenomenal debut in 1843 – is it possible that some folks don't know it? So much the better that they learn of it at the Alley, for there's not much of the “ghost story of Christmas” that's missing on stage. It is prime Dickens: good, thick, and rich.
And then, wonder of wonders, there's Shawn Hamilton as the roaringly rambunctious Spirit of Christmas Present. Dressed in emerald great coat and sporting a type of dreadlocks, he's half-Rastafarian, half-otherwordly, and radiates immense good will until he exposes Want and Ignorance from beneath his luxurious robes to teach Scrooge a lesson in humility.
We've been awaiting a new Alley version of this immortal tale for years. It has arrived and it is glorious. What a present this time of year, full of love, hope, charity, and best of all, chock to the brim with Charles Dickens. Merry Christmas, every one. Arriving first, granddaughter Gretta finds the table set, the Texas chews set out to enjoy, and Mee-Maw dead in bed. There's no right time to inform the arriving guests, who come with their own set of baggage and quickly relive their grudges with each other, so only brother Erik , who has arrived next, is in on the secret. Everybody's told grandma's a bit under the weather and her cold medicine has knocked her out for the present.
