Charles Dickens’s classic holiday page-turner, A Christmas Carol, leaps from its binding onto the stage in Scrooge: The Musical, a melodic revamp of the Yuletide classic. Since 1843, the story of Ebenezer Scrooge’s struggle with clinical skinflint has inflated generations with the spirit of giving and respect for moralizing poltergeists. Infusing Dickens’s prose with bouncing-ball sing-alongs, the Champion Life Centre’s production pulsates with vibrant sets and family-friendly energy. A cast of locally harvested thespians and broad-ranged crooners bring the iconic characters to life, including favorites such as Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and the Ghosts of Christmas Time-Space Continua. The recently renovated auditorium boasts more than 2,000 seats, satiating congregations with comfy views of the stage and that new-church smell.
