I have been wanting to see this play for a very long time, and it was truly worth the wait. From the organist playing Christmas music before and during the show, to the great actors and the wonderful venue, this was a truly wonderul way to begin the Christmas season. Bravo!!
Ohio Theatre is such a beautiful place to see a show. The cast of a Christmas Carol put on a great show. Can't wait until next time.
Going to the Christmas Carol on Thanksgiving weekend had been a yearly tradition when our children were younger. It has been at least five years since we had last seen the play. The actors did not seem to have the little extras which we were used to with this show. They were good but didn't do anything to add to their characters as we used to admire. Although I gave it four stars, it was closer to three. The sound system did not project all of the actors and it was hard to hear at times. I really missed the sparklers that used to be used with the Greensleaves number.
The show was great! The entertainment before the show, and during intermission was also good. We sat in the front row for a great view. One of the musicians did not have his light adjusted correctly, and it was very distracting during the show. It was very bright in our faces.
Very enjoyable show! Great for families and couples.
Going to the Christmas Carol at the Ohio Theatre has become a family tradition to get us into the holiday spirit. This year's performance was one of the best ever! The costumes were beautiful, the staging amazing (how do they get that bed to move like that?!) and the voices superb. The acting was the best of all. Each role was "owned" by each of the actors and actresses as they provided their unique interpretation. Thoroughly entertaining! Bravo!
We have tried to get tickets for several years and it just didn't work out. It was well worth the wait! What a wonderful performance. The ease with which the stage managers and actors moved through all the changes was amazing. Excellent acting, wonderful music, delightful and talented children...it was a wonderful way to usher in the Christmas season. One difficulty...we were in the front area of the loge and had a problem hearing. I believe one reason was that the orchestra overpowered the singers. Had we not been well acquainted with the story, we would have missed some important lines... This has not been a problem at other performances.
The show was very good; however, we liked it a liitle better two years ago. The kids missed the dancing dolls.
When the curtain goes up on The Nebraska Theater Caravan's A CHRISTMAS CAROL you can hear and feel the audience's excitement. Though the sets are relatively simple, they are elegantly done, and combine with the period costuming to instantly transport the viewer to Dickens' day. The Caravan's insistence on using essentially the same script each year gives the feeling of visiting with an old and dear friend. And the music! I told myself I'd not cry when the ensemble sang SUSANNI, but they broke my resolve (once again.) I'm going to order the CD that is now available, not just for that song...but for all the richly textured arrangements. This show is for the entire family and, for us, has become the only way to begin this blessed season.
Superb production! The performers have so much passion in their parts. The voices, staging, and lighting are all excellent. Thanks for performing in the beautiful Ohio Theater.
The performance was fantastic! My husband and daughter were not as excited to go as I was, but after the event my daughter (a teen) actually thanked me for getting the tickets and going because she thought it was AWESOME! Quite a review from a teen! We loved it--the acting, the singing, the set. I would definitely recommend it to ANYONE!
The production seemed well put together but left me unmoved. It appeared as though the cast were going through the motions. The scene where Scrooge was dead and was being robbed by the two ladies was DREADFUL. I contemplated walking out at this point. The voices were annoying, and it went on forever. Positive note is the sets and lighting & costumes were great.
The cast, sets,and music was fabulous.The flow and sequence of the Dickens tale was well played out. We took two children ages 8 and 14yo, ad they loved it. Bravo
My husband and I really loved the play The Christmas Carol. The actors were really "UP" for the performance and it really came through. Very well done!
The play, "A Christmas Carol", itself was very good but the sound system was the worst in any play that I have ever been to. At times, you could not understand a thing that was said. When you cannot understand what they are saying, you lose interest very easily.
We had a wonderful time! We took our adult children and we all had a wonderful experience. Scrooge was great! We are planning on returning again next year.
We had trouble hearing the play. They needed to either turn up the microphones or have more microphones. We were in the front of the loge.
My second time seeing this show in Columbus at the Ohio Theater and it was great again. What a perfect way to get in the holiday spirit.
Sat on the second level and couldn't hear a thing, they must not have tested their mics!! Was very disappointed!! We left half way through. Maybe on the 1st level it would have been better!
IF THIS DON'T PUT YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT NOTHING WILL.EXCELLENT ACTING,AND SINGING.THE ACTOR THAT PLAYED SCROOGE WAS FANTASTIC. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SEE THIS SHOW FOR YEARS.NOW I WILL SEE IT EVERY YEAR. A VERY TALENTED CAST.
