Congratulations to the cast of ACT’s 2014 production of\u00a0A Christmas Carol<\/em>! Early performances have been a hit, and BroadwayWorld.com has weighed in with a very positive review (Dec 1, 2014)<\/a>:<\/p>\n

ACT and Director John Langs<\/span><\/a> completely nailed it again and then some. I saw the production last year of ACT’s Seattle tradition of “A Christmas Carol” and found myself struck by how well they conveyed this classic tale. And as much as I enjoyed it last year there was something even more magical and special in the air for this year’s production (or they spiked my eggnog) as I completely found myself swept away by this incredible show and, yes, crying my eyes out.<\/p>\n

The show has always been a winner in the hands of ACT and is even more so in the hands of Langs and this cast and crew. It’s truly something special and we should be grateful we have it here with us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Foubert, playing the infamous Marley amongst other characters, also received positive mention:<\/p>\n

The cast is superb… The three ghosts who speak (Christmas future never has too much to say) each managed to bring stunning elements. David Foubert<\/span><\/a> as Marley was totally creepy and laser focused.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David and the cast of\u00a0A Christmas Carol<\/em> can be seen through December 28, 2014.<\/p>\n
