A CHARLES DICKENS CHRISTMAS Opens Day After Thanksgiving At The Roxy Regional Theatre
Opening the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, November 29, at 7:00pm.
Kick off your family's holiday season with the Roxy Regional Theatre's festive musical A Charles Dickens Christmas, opening the day after Thanksgiving on Friday, November 29, at 7:00pm.
In this delightful and highly original take on A Christmas Carol, Austin Michael Russell stars as a young Charles Dickens, struggling to write the Christmas story that will become the most famous holiday tale of all time. With the aid of his artistic muse, Dickens faces – and comes to terms with – his own troubled youth, learning the true meaning of Christmas and finding the inspiration he needs.
Equal parts humorous and sentimental, with a rich musical score by Douglas J. Cohen and Tom Toce, this behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Dickens' immortal classic is sure to bring holiday cheer to audiences of all ages.
Directed by Kelly Letourneau with music direction by Travis Ulrich, A Charles Dickens Christmas also features Ashley Birnbaum, Howard Snyder, Jonathan Thompson, Zachary Wilde and Tamarin K. Ythier, alongside local youth Malin Barnhill, Zoë Fewox, Elizabeth Fletcher, Hadleigh Heberer, Bennet Hubbell, Elise Hubbell, Scarlett Johnston, Natalie Shasserre and Addy Stull.
Written by Robert Owens Scott, A Charles Dickens Christmas was conceived and originally directed by Bruce Colville and commissioned and originally produced by Theatreworks/USA. Produced in part by Jim & Dottie Mann, with additional funding support provided by Charlie & Kris Foust, Nancy & Garnett Ladd and Brian & Jennifer Zacharias, this production is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials are supplied by Music Theatre International (MTI).
