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

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.

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

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.
