StageSceneLA says Scrooge! The Musical is “a holiday gift”!
“Ebenezer Scrooge sings and dances and delights audiences of all ages in Leslie Bricusse’s Scrooge! The Musical, a holiday gift from Chance Theater so toe-tappingly tuneful, even the grinchiest grouch will be powerless to resist his crotchety charms.”
“Bruce Goodrich in the proverbial role of a lifetime”
“a nonstop treat”
“Matt Takahashi, likable as ever”
“Audrey Moore winning hearts left and right”
“Justin Ryan, oozing evil”
“the loveliest of ghosts of Christmas Past (the exquisite Kayley Stallings)”
“Winston Peacock, a mountain of infectious mirth”
“the Ghost Of Christmas Yet-To-Come is about as scary as ghosts get”
“couldn’t be more tuneful or clever”
“James Michael McHale’s supremely inventive direction and the inestimable design contributions of Masako Tobaru (set and lighting), Gwen Sloan (costumes), James Markoski (sound), Bebe Herrera (props), and Nick Santiago (projections, in particular those that turn a stageful of sheet-shrouded specters into the scariest of future ghosts)”
“the Christmasiest December musical Chance Theater has done in I don’t know how long”
“Most captivating of all among supporting players is Adam Leiva”
“there’s not a weak link among his castmates”
“the multitalented cast”
“Niko Montelibano’s sparkling choreography”
“Lex Leigh’s impeccable music direction”
“I’ve lost count of all the different versions of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol I’ve seen over the years, but I daresay not one of them can top Scrooge! The Musical where fun is concerned. With Bruce Goodrich positively reinventing the role of the stingiest skinflint ever to walk the streets of London, I dare anyone’s heart not to grow three sizes by the time curtain calls come around.”
