Hi Steve-
Here is something else you might be interested in. This show is right at the Orpheum in Foxboro and is going to be awesome, complete with actual "snow" and people"flying!" For those that can't afford to make the trip to the Wang for the Rockettes, it is another great option for a holiday show. My daughter Heidi Gleichauf, 15 and a sophomore at Franklin High School is playing the part of Emily, Scrooge's fiance. She is the only cast member from Franklin, but adults and children from Norfolk, Foxboro, Mansfield, Plainville etc. comprise the rest of the all-ages cast.
Here is a description of the show:
Charles Dickens' classic gets the full Broadway treatment by the Broadway team of Alan Menken ("Beauty and the Beast", "Little Mermaid"), Lynn Ahrens ("Ragtime", "Seussical") and Mike Ockrent ("Crazy For You", "Me and My Girl."). A story we all know and love set to music overflowing with Holiday feelings to carry in our hearts all year long.
Called by The New York Times "a tonic for adults, and for children a transfixing journey", this spectacular musical extravaganza is filled with the magic of the holiday season, exuberant dances, flying ghosts and the sights and sounds of Dickensian London. "A Christmas Carol" retains its emotional power and pure joy, thanks to the marvelously-told story by Ockrent and Ahrens, and the Menken/Ahrens score filled with beautiful melodies and emotional lyrics.
