Since I love the works of Charles Dickens, especially "A Christmas Carol", I decided to tune in and watch this latest version of his masterpiece. I can't even finish it. It's a musical. A poorly done musical. The songs are unbelievably poor. The acting is bad. And sadly, probably the worst part for a purist such as myself is the fact that they have added characters and scenes not in the story. Why? The story is great the way it is, why change it?
I was saddened to see how poor this production is. There are many, many good productions. Check out the others.
Go watch Patrick Stewart's version, on stage, if possible.
Or read the book and use your own imagination. Don't waste your time on this one.
