Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Alley Theatre

Now in its third year under the skillful guidance of new (Remounting) Director Amber D. Gray, this Dickens classic has been freshly adapted by Alley Theatre’s Artistic Director Rob Melrose. A CHRISTMAS CAROL tells the story we all know so well: a miserly old man is visited by four ghosts who reveal the impact of his actions on others and the trajectory of his own life, leading him toward redemption. This adaptation stands out by weaving carols into the narrative as a guiding thread. Sung a cappella by the cast, these songs enhance the show’s festive charm. Some are timeless classics, while others feel rooted in the Victorian period, lending authenticity to the setting. The arrangements, rich with harmonies, are beautifully performed by a small group or the entire ensemble.
