'Christmas Carol' returns by popular demand
HACKETTSTOWN — Centenary Stage Company’s family favorite Holiday Spectacular, A Christmas Carol: The Musical, returns to the Sitnik Theater on Nov. 27 until Dec. 13 in the Lackland Center.
Hailed as a, “A tonic for children and adults… a transfixing journey…” by The New York Times, this imaginative re-telling of Charles Dickens beloved classic is back by popular demand. Boasting a cast and creative team of more than 65 artists, A Christmas Carol: The Musical not only signifies the start of the holiday season for many but celebrates all of Centenary Stage Company’s programming by combining community members, CSC staff, Centenary College Theatre Department faculty and students, Young Performers Workshop students and professional guest artists.
From the creators of "Beauty and the Beast", "The Little Mermaid", "Ragtime and Seussical", "A Christmas Carol, The Musical" is filled with beautiful melodies by Alan Menken and memorable lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he's forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his past, present, and future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas" before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.
