Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Unlike the great musicals, where you might find yourself humming a tune a few days later, with Scrooge, you'll be lucky if you remember the name of one of the songs a few hours later.

Scrooge works very nicely on its intended level and the kids sitting near me seemed to be having a good time.

fresh:
Even Scrooge's fingernails are dirty, and while I don't think that Dickens intended to equate greed with unwashed hands, he probably would not have objected.

rotten:
A misbegotten musical adaptation of Dickens' much too perennial tale.
