AcclaimedWashington actor Craig Wallace returns to Ford's Theatre to perform the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for the company's holiday production of "A Christmas Carol." Performances of the classic Charles Dickensplay began November 16 and continue for a six-week engagement through December 31, 2017. This "musically high-spirited" and "infectiously jolly" (The Washington Post) production is adapted by Michael Wilson, directed by Michael Baron. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
Join the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future as they lead Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey of transformation and redemption. The production captures the magic and joy of Dickens's Yuletide classic with abundant caroling, spooky stage tricks and cheerful dancing for the holiday season.
Craig Wallace was most recently featured at Ford's as Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" and in productions of "The Guard," "Driving Miss Daisy," "Necessary Sacrifices" and others.
