A Christmas Carol, Crispus Attucks Cultural Center Tickets

Attucks Theatre - Norfolk

The description on Ticketmaster "A joyous celebration for all ages - perfect for anyone who loves music, dance and the holiday season! Charles Dickens' timeless holiday classic is coming to the legendary Attucks Theatre stage with an urban twist. A Christmas Carol is a unique dance/theatre odyssey that blends Contemporary, Jazz, Funk, and Hip Hop dance styles with the classical flavor of the original story line." The actual experience was equivalent to going to an elementary/middle school production for a maximum of $8 per ticket along with the other relatives of the kids in the production who are bursting with pride (even to the point of yelling several times "that's my baby girl" "Yeah girl" ); waiting for a late start because this is a disorganized school presentation so you let it pass, you also let it pass when intermission is only a half hour into the show then lasts a time and a half longer than announced; you also expect the second act to be as short as the first all because it is a group of school children having fun and performing for classmates, friends, family, and a few folks in the community. If you are expecting "A joyous celebration for all ages - perfect for anyone who loves music, dance and the holiday season! Charles Dickens' timeless holiday classic is coming to the legendary Attucks Theatre stage with an urban twist.

The theater is beautiful. The sound and lighting were very good. There is not a bad seat in the house. Wheelchair access is present and the companion seating was very good. The ushers were lovely and very helpful even though there were very very limited programs.
