A Christmas Carol

Nothing is more classic Christmas than Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol.” One tradition for many families in The Delaware Valley is to attend Music Mountain Theater in Lambertville’s version, which is grand and brimming over with holiday spirit. Starting in 2010, there have been 12 holiday seasons of this show (one year skipped due to the pandemic). David Whiteman helms the show as Scrooge and has been doing so from the beginning. His Scrooge is irascible and miserly and his transition into the benevolent Ebenezer is real and warms the heart. It occurs, of course, because on Christmas Eve he is visited by 3 spirits: The Ghost of Christmas Past (Jill Gibilisco), The Ghost of Christmas Present (David McLoughan, Jr.) and The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (Alison McMullen/Nicole Calabrese)...not counting Jacob Marley, his former business partner. Louis Palena reprises his role as Bob Cratchit and the excellent Molly Chase is his wife.
