A new holiday tradition officially began in the Rockwell neighborhood as the Proscenium Theater welcomed a full house for the opening night of A Christmas Carol. From the first notes of Alan Menken’s iconic score to the final bows, audiences were swept up in a celebration of music, storytelling, and the joy of the season. The timeless story of Ebenezer Scrooge came alive through spectacular performances from a stellar ensemble of theater veterans, powerhouse vocalists, and a dynamic young cast whose charm and energy melted hearts from the first scene.
Even if you know the story, this retelling offers something special. Tiny Tim’s (Enzo Isaac) entrance alone drew audible “aww”s from the audience, and the young cast’s heartfelt performances continued to tug at heartstrings throughout the night. The interactions between Scrooge (Arnel Carrion) and Tiny Tim carried quiet moments of emotional resonance, while the playful energy, humor, and spirited choreography of the ensemble kept every scene lively and vibrant. At once intimate and grand, the production delivers surprises, visual delights, and moments that make familiar scenes feel fresh.
The show masterfully balances laughter, awe, and reflection. From bustling streets of Victorian London to the hauntingly beautiful visions of Christmas past, present, and yet to come, the story transports viewers, inviting them to reflect on their own journeys while sharing the joy of the season. By the final bows, the audience erupted in cheers, leaving the theater with the simple truth that there’s no better way to celebrate Christmas than with loved ones, laughter, and a story that truly captures the spirit of the holidays.
Adding to the magic, the Proscenium Theater’s natural acoustics and masterful illumination elevate every scene, allowing the story to unfold with clarity, depth, and immersive wonder. These world-class features, paired with expert staging and design, make A Christmas Carol not just a show—but an experience that audiences of all ages will remember.
With shows running only until December 21, A Christmas Carol is a holiday must-see—an experience that promises to inspire, delight, and rekindle the warmth of the season for everyone.
