Not to be missed. Best Version I have ever seen
I grew up with the most famous Scrooge, Alistair Sim in the 1951 British version. It was so "gloomy," and "depressing," Radio City Music Hall refused to host its premiere in America. VARIETY magazine said it was a "grim thing to give kiddies the screaming-meemies."
In this production, Jed Diamond, the head of U.T. Acting Department is the most personable, funny, and sympathetic Scrooge ever. There's never a dull moment and Diamond keeps you alternately laughing and crying throughout.

Love love love this great show!
This show is amazing and so much fun!
The actors and the whole performance was amazing.
The play has so much going on and the depth has been captured in the chemistry between Scrooge and Bell. I especially liked Sarah Hunt as Belle. She made me cry and laugh. The depth of her acting is something I haven’t seen in a very long time. Scrooge Was great. Loved Tiny Tim. Basically it’s a show for all the family and it’s just a fun heartwarming show I highly recommend it. Just what we need in these uncertain chaotic times.
This is a perfect Christmas classic with audience participation, and just so much fun! ... Read more

An old classic revived with modern twist
I am just in awe. As a theater junkie I jumped at the opportunity to go to a play and when this opened I thought , oh well, have seen it a dozen times, but it’s a play. BUT wait. A whole new interpretation. With more character development. And oh my. Timmy. A surprise you won’t want to miss. This is a MUST. No old white man in a kerchief in bed visited by ghosts. It was. Amazing!!! I want to go again!!! ... Read more
