A Christmas Carol
The Lichfield Garrick
Review by Claire Fry
The magic and spirits of Christmas have truly arrived in Lichfield this festive season.
This colourful and musical show grabs the audience from the very moment the curtains open and the classic tale of the timeless Dickens' story is a must for adults and children alike.
With fantastic lighting, creative staging and colourful costumes – with even some snow and ice skating thrown in for good measure - it is a must-see for anyone wanting to get into the spirit of Christmas.
Stealing the show was Ian Adams as the Ghost of Jacob Marley, along with The Bill star Graham Cole as the ever-grumpy Scrooge.
With the cast really pulling together in the songs and dances, and some great performances by the younger members, it was a very enjoyable evening.
Will Ebenezer ever see the error of his miserable and mean ways? Will Tiny Tim see another Christmas? And will the true meaning of the season ever be found? Well, there is only one way to find out.
The show runs until January 2, and tickets range from £12.50 to £21.50. Visit www.lichfieldgarrick.com or call 01543 412121.
