Hi, I'm Tylan Sandhu. My name is Charles. My name is Isabella Burke. I'm 15 years old. I'm 13 years old. I'm 12 and the show I got to see was A Christmas Carol on Broadway
0:11
Christmas Carol was about a greedy man named Scrooge
0:32
It's Christmas Eve, but Ebenezer Scrooge is not in the streets caroling
0:36
caroling, Scrooge encounters the three ghosts of Christmas that take him through different stages
0:41
of his life. Ghosts of the past, the ghosts of the present, and the ghosts of the future. But can
0:46
these scenes scare Scrooge enough that he decides to become a more loving person? By the end, Scrooge
0:53
begins to realize the importance of love and happiness over consumerism. I was familiar with
1:02
the story of A Christmas Carol because I had seen it at the K Playhouse with David Hyde Pierce
1:07
and I had seen the musical movie by Lynn Ahrens and Alan Menken I had not seen any of the A Christmas Carol movies beforehand I seen the Muppet version and the Disney version many times My dad had seen several of them and he thought this show was a great adaption of the movies
1:28
and it really brought the movie to life on stage. I was really looking forward to seeing this story again
1:36
and the play did it in new ways that even surprised me
1:43
Scrooge, the greedy holiday hater who turns into a joyous giving man, is played by Campbell Scott
1:49
Campbell Scott made a brilliant Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. I liked how Campbell showed Scrooge's transformation in a clear and compelling way
1:59
He really was able to portray the evilness and the heart as cold as stone
2:04
that Scrooge has at the beginning of the show. My favorite character was Scrooge's nephew, Fred, because he was energetic and funny
2:11
Tiny Tim was adorable. He's only seen briefly, but he serves as an important
2:17
symbol of the consequences that Scrooge faces. A Christmas Carol is not a musical, but music plays a very important role in it
2:29
There was a lot of instrumental music and I loved all of it A Christmas Carol has 12 timeless Christmas carols that brought me into the holiday spirit I love that There a great handbell carol after the show Silent Night
2:45
My personal favorite was Silent Night, a classic. There is also music being played both before the show and at intermission
2:55
So even though music isn't the main part of a Christmas Carol, it really does help guide you through the show
3:06
This show definitely put me in the holiday spirit. This show definitely put me in the holiday spirit, thinking about being a better person
3:13
The thing that I think most put me in the holiday spirit about this show
3:16
was the wonderful effect that they had to simulate snow during the most happy moments in the show
3:25
The moral of a Christmas Carol is the pursuit of money will not make a person happy
3:32
The moral of the story was to prefer people over money and objects
3:36
To give some of what you have in life instead of just constantly taking
3:41
We learn that family, friends, helping others, and joyous times are most important
3:47
it I think other kids would love this show because of the great effect and intense and engaging story that will keep you riveted throughout the whole show
4:01
I think all kids would enjoy A Christmas Carol because it was a very interactive and immersive experience
4:08
When you enter the theater, the actors are throwing clementines and cookies to the audience while playing festive music
4:14
At the end of the show, the whole audience comes together with the actors to help prepare for the huge Christmas feast
4:21
It's not just the singing or the effects or the story that the kids will enjoy
4:27
It's just the experience of joy that comes with being in the theater
4:34
Holly. Riveting. Uplifting. A questionary gentleman. Let nothing be dismay. Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day
4:45
To save us all from Satan's power when we were born astray
4:50
All tidings have come, all tidings have come All tidings have come, one and two
