Scrooge (Nov 1999)
Aberdeen Arts Centre
Scrooge is a sure fire early festive treat for all the family. This fabulous show written by Leslie Bricusse, retells Charles Dickens' classic story in spectacular fashion, with music which will keep you singing all the way home. A Christmas Carol will never be the same again!
In the hands of Aberdeen's Phoenix Theatre, an enchanting evening's entertainment is guaranteed. Dramatic staging, extravagant costumes, colourful characters and exciting music all combine in a show which will delight and gladden audiences of all ages.
The miserly skinflint, Ebenezer Scrooge, considers Christmas to be 'Humbug' until he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and three further spirits - The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and the terrifying Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come. In turn, these spirits show Scrooge the error of his ways and we are eventually brought to a happy ending which is both moving and uplifting.
“...a slick, well-crafted show, performed by an exuberant chorus and first-rate principals...”
