When Will It Be Christmas by Carol Garborg Review
A Christmas Ballad
Chicago Tribune- Highly Recommended
"...This twelvemonth'southward director, Jessica Thebus, has deftly thread the needle of tradition and balmy innovation, streamlined the show in places and underlined its emotional oomph. Nearly importantly, she has thrown the show more to the audience. Andy White, another veteran, now narrates the story by inviting audience participation. It works quite beautifully."
Chicago On the Aisle- Highly Recommended
"...The spiritual journeying that begins in Scrooge's apartment offers an impressive reminder that, while "A Christmas Carol" may be Goodman's cash cow for the year, the company lavishes a existent treat on its enchanted and always-returning audition. And with this pivotal scene, we get Yando in total schtick, equally old Scrooge dons his night clothes and snuggles into bed beneath a massive comforter, the cares of the world dissolving into elation. The archway of Marley's Ghost (the sternly cautionary Kareem Bandealy) is spectacular and the dialogue betwixt the alarm spirit and its incredulous beneficiary a rhetorical delight."
Splash Magazine- Highly Recommended
"...Diversity in casting has been important to this production since I've been reviewing it, and this year the inclusivity is stronger than ever. The bandage is racially various, and even more than women grace the stage than in years past. Virtually notably, the grapheme of Mr. Fezziwig, Scrooge's former mentor, is recast as Mrs. Maud Fezziwig, just his married woman, Mrs. Alice Fezziwig, remains female. The brief but utterly mannerly interactions between Cindy Gold and Penelope Walker every bit the 2 Mrs. Fezziwigs are a heartwarming highlight of the product."
NewCity Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...Perhaps considering for many of us, our own ongoing journey has been no less transformative during such cluttered times, we scout Scrooge go through his familiar redemptive and restorative ritual with renewed interest and with pangs of incertitude about how information technology all might come out. Which ends up making this maybe the about powerful and needed �A Christmas Carol� of our lifetimes."
Chicago Theatre Review- Highly Recommended
"...We�re so lucky. Live theatre is back in the Windy City! And luckily Chicago offers a wide variety of holiday entertainment. Every yr at that place are new plays and musicals from which to cull. Simply the ane bonafide product that truly says �Christmas� is back once more at the Goodman Theatre. There are a number of excellent alternatives playing around town, but the real deal, the play that will remind audiences of what the holiday is all well-nigh, is here for another yr. There�southward no better selection. Here is a Christmas extravaganza that�due south filled with centre and humor and is certainly a must-run across at this time of year!"
The Fourth Walsh- Highly Recommended
"...The entire bandage exudes the holiday spirit. Whether caroling or dancing, they commit to making the experience uplifting and heartfelt. The prove brought me to tears twice: when Batteast welcomes Yando for Christmas in her home and at the curtain telephone call when Yando says 'Welcome Dorsum" to the audition. Both touching moments represent the best of community and holiday spirit. We have lots to celebrate as we end 2021. Family gatherings, friends' parties and Chicago theatre are dorsum!! And the Goodman'due south CHRISTMAS CAROL is the perfect tradition to bring family, friends and theatre together to gloat."
Chicagoland Musical Theatre- Highly Recommended
"...This twelvemonth's Christmas Carol is sure to delight both those who have taken role in the tradition year after year and newcomers alike. Overflowing with infectious joy, information technology is a truthful commemoration of the hope, customs and theatrical magic we spent so many months longing for- and what a witting joy it now is that we can sit side past side, experiencing it together."
Chicago On Phase- Highly Recommended
"...In that location is a reason that this story, more whatever other save that of the Christ-child himself, has come to symbolize the season of Christmas, and it has naught to do with soaring, two-story sets, gorgeous dancing, sudden scares, and wonderful lighting effects (though they are all here, to be sure, and very impressive indeed). It is that feeling of being "a kid again" reflected in the newly converted Scrooge likewise as all of the actual children onstage on whose faces we see the purity of what Christmas ought to be. And information technology is lovely that Dickens portrays this feeling not with hyperactive souvenir-opening but through the giving of gifts and honey to ane some other. God bless united states of america, every 1, indeed."
PicksInSix- Highly Recommended
"...With over 100 dissimilar versions of this classic story bachelor, I was set to relish the popular Charles Dickens' archetype "A Christmas Carol," only I was nowhere well-nigh prepared for the magic that Goodman Theatre would bring to its 44th annual product! With the entire house packed with families and friends of all ages on Thursday night snuggled into the Albert Theatre, enjoying the soft, welcoming glow of the stage'south London street scene, it warmed the heart to see the render of this love holiday tradition."
