A Christmas Carol the Musical presented by BrightSide Theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...However, despite some minor criticisms, BrightSide, Naperville's only professional theatre, is presenting a truly delightful holiday show that's worth seeing. It's a musical as energetic and entertaining as the Dickens. The show's strength, aside from telling the classic Christmas story, is Alan Menken's solid score. His songs will keep the audience tapping their toes and leave them humming as they exit the theatre. From Miranda Colin's energetic choreography and the lavish backstage orchestral accompaniment, provided by a talented eight-piece band, this hard-working company delivers a festive holiday extravaganza for all ages. Costumed in Shana Hall's array of colorful, period costumes and supported by Ruby Lowe's atmospheric lighting design, BrightSide's sumptuous production is a welcome addition to the menu of holiday treats to be sampled in Chicago."
