Wow
15 January 2020
I have been to many Christmas shows but I was blown away by the way this play was presented. I have seen A Christmas Carol at the London Palladium with Tommy Steele which I thought could not be topped but I was wrong. Every actor was superb and the atmosphere of the theatre really made the audience feel like they were part of the play. We were given a warm mince pie before the play started which put us in a Christmas mood and the music made everybody want to clap and get involved. I will never forget the beautiful hand bells and wish I could hear them every Christmas. I even closed my eyes to imagine Christmas whilst they were played. I love A Christmas Carol and this is the best I have seen. Brilliant.

The scrooge actor lifts the whole performance - great fun - not sure about the tiny Tim scenario - rather patronising I thought - seeing and production original and very well executed

A brilliant night out
13 January 2020
I had booked this as a Christmas present for my three goddaughters and their mother . As we arrived we were given hot mince pies and seated in row H next to the stage , Fromthe moment we arrived it was totally immersive with lots of interaction with the amazing cast members. who all looked as if this was where they were meant to be When the play started we were immediatly pulled into it and time flew.
The acting and singing were really first class and we were mesmerised by the whole thing,
I don't know how I am going to top it for next year

An inspired version of a Dickens Story
12 January 2020
The minimal staging, atmospheric lighting and extraordinary use of the theatre and snow effects complemented the wonderful acting and singing-not to mention the superb bell ringing. I took my nine year old great nephew and he was entranced as each original, thoughtful and emotional element of the story unfolded, keeping true to the Dickens text, whilst bringing aspects up-to-date and relevant for all ages. Tiny Tim brought a tear to my eye and I wish we had been able to see it before Christmas. We were on a high on our journey home and delighted in describing our experiences to the family.
Dicken's message was consistently clear and it reminded me of the real meaning of Christmas and just how lucky I am. Thank you. A brilliant start to 2020.

Brilliant Performance

My friend and I always try and see a production of Scrooge for Xmas every year. This was far the best acted performance we have every seen. It kept to the story and was brilliantly acted. it really took back to the time of Scrooge.

Christmas Carol
8 January 2020
The overall adaptation was great and I thought that the pace was just right. It was ideal for the younger audience. We went after Christmas but it made us feel "christmasy" all over again.
There was lots of interaction with the audience and this made it feel relaxed and fun.

A complete delight from the moment we walked into the theatre. Mince pies and clementines on arrival to our seats. Central stage that gave every seat a prefect view. Don’t want to give anything away, the staging and the show were better than we imagined. Would definitely recommend!

A Christmas Carol ( The Old Vic)
4 January 2020
My husband and I were so moved by this excellent and cleverly constructed production of Dickens classic 'A Christmas Carol'. Such a lovely touch, to be offered warm mince pies from the kind Victorian gentleman, as we entered the auditorium. What a festive welcome alongside other things!!!! The musicians on stage were superb to ease us effortlessly in to the show. I won't say too much more as I don't want to spoil the surprises this show brings! Just one more thing! The acting was out of this world, but I really loved the Celtic feel to my favourite Carols. The unique arrangements of them and the beautiful bell ringing touched my heart, as did Tiny Tim, played by Lenny Rush! Bravo to this angelic child who we fell in love with . His parents must be SO very proud of him! I went out with tear stains of joy on my face!!! Hubby wept too. CONGRATRULATIONS TO THE WHOLE CAST AND CREW!!!! XXXX

An enchanting night out
4 January 2020
This show was magical from start to finish. The stage extends right out into the audience and you are drawn into the action from the outset . Cast members are on stage and amongst the audience when you arrive handing out warm mince pies and satsumas and others are playing instruments . The cast also play hand bells during the performance which make a beautiful sound . The acting is brilliant and the ghostly special effects make it suitably eerie. It even snows inside the theatre at some points - it will make you feel Christmassy even when Christmas is all over. I LOVED it .

3 January 2020
Loved everything. It's an old story, but I hung on every word and so did my family. The actors are very good, particularly the man playing the Scrooge. His face is so expressive. Then the bit at the end with the snow and a little bit of audience participation. It was all so good. A lot of fun and a great night in London.

Enjoyable immersive family show
3 January 2020
We really enjoyed seeing A Christmas Carol at the Old Vic with a group of different ages. The theatre design was simply but very effective with hundreds of illuminated lanterns and a cross shaped stage in the middle where audiences can enjoy the play from different angles. Fantastic energetic acting and many memorable and unexpected moments. Really enjoyable with an important message.

An amazing production which teenage boys and parents all thoroughly enjoyed. Multi talented performers brought the play to life and being enveloped in the performance wrapped around us from all angles added to the drama and richness of the event. Great staging, music and a number of surprises but still staying true to Dickens and the Victorian context. A real triumph and strongly recommended.

From the moment you enter the theatre, the Staff and actors draw you in and you feel transported into 1865. Throughly enjoyed every moment from the minced pie and oranges the actors generously give to the audience, set design, costumes, lighting, musicians, dance choreography, and amazing, talented actors!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL
22 December 2019
I traveled from N. Ireland to take my grandchildren, Callum and Ruby, who live in Surrey to see A Christmas Carol as their Christmas treat.
Unfortunately when the great day arrived Callum was ill and was unable to travel with us to London.
However, my husband and Ruby and I thoroughly enjoyed the the atmosphere and the magic of the production.
A lovely touch, incidentally, was the "pie man" coming around the audience with mince pies.
The setting in the "round" was very effective and allowed the audience to almost feel part of the story. The setting, costumes, acting, singing, and particularly the bell ringers were all wonderful; and when the snow started to fall I was overcome with joy.
Strangely, I attended, along with two friends, the very same version of A Christmas Carol in The Gate Theatre in Dublin a week before. It was wonderful too.
Thanks to everyone involved in this very uplifting experience.
