A Christmas Carol at the Goodman AWESOME

5/5

20th November 2019

My family and I truly enjoyed the Goodman Theatre's A Christmas Carol. This year has been a challenge for my family and I , losing a family member to cancer, earlier this year and purchasing tickets, to see A Christmas Carol was a way to assist us in turning things around. We had an amazing time, we attended the Christmas tree lighting and was able to pose for photographs with the cast of the show. The cast was so professional and personable at the same time. My 12-year old daughter's birthday is November 15 and purchasing tickets was also a way to celebrate her birthday. I said to my daughter softly "come on birthday girl lets take a photo" and the cast of A Christmas Carol said in unisense "Happy Birthday" as the photo was being taken, that truly touched my heart because that was so very naturally kind and unexpected. A wonderful experience.

Wonderful Christmas Classic

It is not Christmas without seeing a Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theater, Chicago. I and my family love this Christmas classic, and the Goodman Theater never disappoints. We go back year after year and are amazed to see all the new and creative touches that are incorporated. We never tire of this play. The team at Goodman just keeps raising the bar. What a splendid performance this past Saturday. The acting, music and choreography was spectacular. The set design ---- outstanding. BRAVO, Goodman. Bravo! We will be back for more of Scrooge and Marley in 2015.

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!

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!!!

An interesting take on a classic

Overall, I felt that the performance was entertaining. It had a clear "woke" atmosphere with a highly diverse cast and somewhat over the top bashing of poor Ebenezer. I was impressed with the creativity of the story line as it diverged from the traditional performances on screen. the cast was talented and gave a heartfelt tenor to the whole thing. I did, however, feel that certain [performers needed to modulate their voices and not shout so much.
