Absolutely despised Oliver Becker as Scrooge - he was that good at being a miserable miser at the beginning of the play, one couldn't help but dislike him. His transformation from miser to philanthropist at the end was wonderfully done. Kevin Rothery was also a pleasure to watch. I will say that from now on when I am reminded of Mr. Fezziwig, I will see William Vickers and his wonderful performance. And Mark Claxton as Bob Cratchit - well done, well done; I noted quite a few damp eyes in the audience during his performance as he discussed Tiny Tim's final resting place with his wife.
The production was beautiful, and I liked that the actors used the lines from the original Dickens rather than modernizing them.
The entire cast did an excellent job and it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. read more
