"A Christmas Carol," the new ghostly musical, is a great way to kick off the holiday season!
Spruce Peak Resort Association and Vermont Youth Theater proudly present the new musical, "A Christmas Carol," an all-Vermont original, November 30 – December 2, with four performances at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center, Stowe.
Broadway veteran and St. Michael's Playhouse favorite, Bill Carmichael, gives an unforgettable performance as Ebenezer Scrooge. Peter Boynton, another Broadway veteran, takes a break from his own Waitsfield theater company to appear as a decomposing Jacob Marley.
In this Christmas ghost story, Waitsfield's Dr. Shannon Mitchell plays a corpse robber looking for loot. Reverend Will Vaus of Stowe Community Church sings the role of Fezziwig as he leads the Victorians in a Christmas Dance. Taryn Noelle, Stowe recording artist and educator, plays Tiny Tim's mother, the heart-rending Emily Cratchit. Stowe children, playing London Urchins living on the street, have their own take on sharing the city with Scrooge. Children from other towns play Apprentice Gravediggers and the Cratchit kids.
A fast-paced Vermont original update of the Dickens classic, the production features rapping Gravediggers, Spirit Dancers, children's voices, ghosts, grave robbers, Tiny Tim, plus all original music. A multi-generational cast of over forty Vermonters, signature costumes, original scenic art, singing and dancing – a great way to start the festivities of December.
Now in its third year, this is a Vermont holiday tradition for the whole community.
