Christmas tidings
Got production With all joining in .A reminder of the true Christmas spirit (or three )
Excellent Production
My family and I go every year, and this was the best by far. Love the new dance scenes! The pacing was great, even our youngest enjoyed the show. The youth ensemble this year was especially strong. You could tell they had a close connection. The entire cast brought their "A game" especially Scrooge! We will definitely be returning next year.
LOVED the 2023 A Christmas Carol at the McCarter, Princeton NJ
Traveling from VA and PA to see Lauren Keating's adaption and production with Joel McKinnen Miller was worth the journey. Miller is a believably human, and, ultimately, lovable Scrooge. Great storytelling throughout - excellent performances embodying Dicken's characters, lots of Christmas music - joyful and foreboding. Outstanding party scene at Mr. Fessiwig's shop with surprising choreography supporting the narrative beautifully. The best Christmas morning when Scrooge first finds he has time to change the future -and interacts first with his housekeeper. His appearance in town made me laugh hard. When allowed to be heard Dickens is so very wise, full of heart... and funny. I cried four different times. It plays through two performances Christmas Eve.
YES - McCarter's Christmas Carol 2022
Beautiful adaptation, I highly recommend McCarter's 2022 production! I was personally moved by the Cratchit family (their overall love for each other,) the significance of Scrooge's loss in his sister and delighted by Scrooge's journey towards family, light, giving, and joy. Wonderful ensemble cast, and great children actors! This adaptation highlighted the prevalence and importance of first generation immigrants, thank you for including these voices, not to mention it better reflects the wonderful people who make up Mercer County.
A Christmas Carol at the McCarter, Princeton NJ 2022
I love Dickens' A Christmas Carol and re-read it every few years. I enjoy seeing different theatrical renditions. How will they convey the other worldly visitations? Is Scrooge believable? I LOVED this Ebenezer Scrooge and also in particular I was moved by this Bob Cratchit, the Christmas Past scene with Scrooge''s elder sister, and also Scrooge's nephew Fred & his wife: each showing their humanity, different fears, vulnerability, generosity, and their joy. I loved the storytelling, a nod to the adaptation and direction, with children throughout, each of the Christmas ghosts leading Scrooge farther into his own yearning to heal so he can feel his own abundance and share it. There are other delightful performances, too many to name. The ensemble tells this classic story well and in their own way. Go see it!
