Christmas Carol by Dickens
Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol had a great cast this year, including Christopher Lloyd, John Goodman and Jane Leeves. All these actors were good. But according to the Variety reviewer, that’s about the only thing that’s good in the show. I mean, it sounds like it was decent, but not quite up to par with what they would’ve expected from the cast and the cost. One of the big issues is the pre-recorded narration. It was recorded by a respected, but deceased actor. But it apparently doesn’t fit with the actual show very well, sometimes with laughing covering over the narration and some of the narration was unclear and inaudible. It’s such a good play as written, but it’s unfortunate that we can’t see it done a bit better than this.
