There are many adaptations of A Christmas Carol out there, but only one Broadway version! This exciting rendition of this classic tale will delight the entire family and will hit the Stage on November 9th 2007. Windsor Light Music Theatre’s production is Directed by Christopher Hickman.
The Charles Dickens' classic gets the full Broadway treatment in Alan Menken's-Lynn Ahrens'-Mike Okrent's adaptation of A Christmas Carol. This is the version that left New Yorkers and tourists alike gasping in wonder and merriment every year, for ten years, on the stage at Madison Square Garden.
In 2004, this version became the basis of a NBC television spectacular featuring Kelsey Grammer as Scrooge, surrounded by an array of stars including Jason Alexander, Jesse L. Martin, Jane Krakowski, Geraldine Chaplin, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ruthie Henshall. A copy of this film can be rented at any local BLOCKBUSTER.
Alan Menken (Little Shop Of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime The Musical, Once On This Island) have collaborated on a score that is filled with beautiful melodies and emotional lyrics. Their song "A Place Called Home" has become a holiday standard.
While at the Madison Square Garden staging contains spectacular special effects and scenic elements, A Christmas Carol can be equally effective on a more intimate scale. The book by Mike Okrent and Lynn Ahrens is character-driven, and all of the featured roles are developed to give performers many chances to shine.
Of course, at the center of the piece is Ebenezer Scrooge himself, taken right from the pages of Dickens' immortal tale. The requirements for this production are a perfect fit for Windsor Light.
A cast of approximately 60 actors will bring this tale to life.
