Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Charles Dickens's classic tale receives another musical treatment in this Broadway production, a rare collaboration between Alan Menken, composer of Little Shop of Horrors as well as several of the films behind Disney's late-1980s revival (including The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast), and Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty's lyricist for such hits as Ragtime and Once on this Island. If you've already heard a song from this score, it's probably "A Place Called Home," and rightly so--it's a warm, beautiful ballad. But there are other good, catchy songs here, including "The Lights of Long Ago" and the peppy "Mr. Fezziwig's Annual Christmas Ball" (which is so Menken it almost conjures visions of dancing kitchenware). As Scrooge, Walter Charles leads the ensemble cast, which includes Robert Westenberg and Emily Skinner. And of course only the hardest heart could fail to be touched by this story. Full lyrics are included. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars An adaptation that soars like the original, November 12, 2002
By Nicholas M. Martorelli (Norristown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Mr. Scrooge and his three Christmas spirits are icons of popular culture, for everyone knows the story of "A Christmas Carol." In this wonderful musical, however, the story is retold and reimagined through an hour and a half of enjoyable music. I stumbled upon this CD accidentally in my local library, and it was a hunt to find it after that. Telling the majority of the story through song, the CD captures the essence and spirit of Dickens's classic, while introducing modern and original touches as well. The cast is wonderful, and they have a strong vocal sound. I certainly recommend this CD to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Christmas Carol- For the KIDS, February 7, 2002
By loesser "lbw22" (colonia, nj United States) - See all my reviews
This Christmas Carol knows how to please its audience, which are mostly kids. It also knows how to fill a giant stage with spectacular production numbers. Dickens may turn over in his grave as his story is sweetened and shortened. But he's used to that after "Oliver". I'll stop being a Scrooge and admit that it is joyous with an excellent score by Menken and Ahrens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Menken, October 11, 1998
By A Customer
Menken's A Christmas Carol is an excellent interpretation of the classic Dicken's novel. It has the well written if somewhat familiar Menken sound and some clever lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. A soundsgood recording of a feelgood classic.
