DON’T BE SCROOGE

This is an outstanding Charles Dickens Classic. We have attended as a family ever year except one ( out of town) Don’t be a Scrooge this timeless story never gets old. Support your local arts and have a great time.

FANTASTIC!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Don't get me wrong, I love the traditional Christmas Carol, but after seeing it over and over, year after year, I wasn't as excited when, I ended up with tickets to this performance. Boy was I suprised, everything about this show was entertaining. I would go back in a heart beat! It was fantastic I highly recommend!

THE CHRISTMAS CAROL

Bravo to the director Mr Rob Melrose!! This is a wonderful new rendition of a favorite holiday classic!! I loved the new set, I love the story telling, the costumes, all of the actors are phenomenal and the youth cast adorable!!! I was so happy to have this beautiful production back in full force!! They even added a hot chocolate/ hot cider bar for the kids, and we loved it!! Definitely a must see 2022!!! Go support this amazing production at the Alley Theatre

LOVE THE CHRISTMAS CAROL

To @jerry everyone is always leery of change but change it always for the better. As for your comment, too much activity while changing sets?well it is LIVE theatre, duh. If stillness is what you want, go to stare at a picture @tiffany the principal of the show was totally captured! You list no value reason for your stupid complaints. Your onlycomment worth reading was,on the actors performed well, that was the true!! And shame on you for writing this nasty comment! Good luck finding another family Christmas tradition as amazing as this production.@disappointed,this was a wonderful twist on a holiday classic. The characters on stage while the story is being narrated is called LIVE Theatre (mentioned this above to Jerry as well). The only part of your comment worth reading was re: Mrs Dilbert,Who was a great character but as I said above, this is a new rendition. If boring is what you,husband,his parents are looking for, stay home and keep your negative worthless comments to yourself.

WHAT A SURPRISE….AND WE LOVED IT!

I love Dickens “Christmas Carol” and have enjoyed the Alley production for many years. My first time to see this production and what a surprise! It was a combination of tradition and energizing new components - both in production and scripting. The diversity of performers, the tidbits of humor, the intensity of the ghosts yet appropriate for young audiences. Watching the audience - they laughed, applauded the highlights and intently listened to the narration. We thought it was fabulous. Change can be challenging for those who value tradition - but this production reflects the diversity of Houston and it matters.

PREFERRED PAST PRODUCTIONS

I did not particularly care for the 2022 version of the Alley production of A Christmas Carol. I attended the evening production on November 20. I felt the actors/actresses did fine with what they were working with, but I found the production to be choppy and did not care for all the narration. There was too much activity with the changing of sets. To me it had more of a feel of a good high school or college production with a couple of advanced sets as opposed to a professional version.

TERRIBLE RENDITION

Our family just left the play. It is the first time we have seen the play since 2019. Prior, we had seen the original play 6 consecutive years. It became our family Christmas tradition each year. 2022 .. absolutely disappointing!! Story telling replaced ALOT of the captivating aspects of the original show. Actors performed well but the direction of the show was very bad. Principal of this story was not captured one bit. All I could think, when is this going to be over and we are going to need to find a new holiday tradition because I’m not coming back to watch this “rendition”. My husband and kids felt the same things as they are watching the show. Total disappointment.
