A Christmas Carol at Goodman Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Just as Scrooge comes through this dark night of the soul to a kinder, happier future, so the Goodman’s production takes the audience on a journey through fear and sorrow to joy and hope. During what is a difficult season for many, “A Christmas Carol” urges us to open our hearts to our fellow passengers through this life. May even the most cynical among us take heed."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Chicago’s most beloved show, “A Christmas Carol”, now in its 46th year at the Goodman Theatre, stars the multitalented and humble Larry Yando in his 16th year as Ebenezer Scrooge incarnate. What a marvelously miserable penny-pinching character he plays: a crotchety old man whom you love to hate—and hate to love! Many changes from previous years have been made to this holiday classic and only add to the comedy: all enhanced by Yando’s phenomenal acting!"

Third Coast Review - Highly Recommended

"...The Goodman Theatre’s annual production of A Christmas Carol is the kickoff to the holiday season in Chicago. The last time I saw it was over 12 years ago and there have been some fun changes and an even more diverse cast. Director Jessica Thebus returns for a fourth year to helm this delightful play. Larry Yando returns for the 14th season as the miserable and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge."

"...Jessica Thebus has done it again. The director’s fourth year at the helm of the Goodman Theatre’s annual production of A Christmas Carol is her most triumphant yet. Bold and energetic, this Carol offers a much-needed burst of holiday cheer."
