A Christmas Tradition: Finding the Miracle Within

(A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Presented by:

Globe Live & 9 Works Theatrical)

"A Christmas Tradition: Finding the Miracle Within"

The nation, and perhaps even the globe have seen some of its darkest days in the recent years. As the year draws to a close and we look back on the year that was, one thing rings true—that whichever way the world turns, light will always outshine darkness. Love will always trump evil. The yuletide season beckons a time of homecoming, gathering, and discovering life little’s miracles, and best of all, the miracle within.

Now on its second season, Globe Live and 9 Works Theatrical aim to create an annual Christmas tradition in the musical A Christmas Carol. Inspired by the same idea as New York’s annual fare of staging A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden, it endeavors to gather families every season in the same spirit, creating a sense of tradition in storytelling and gathering as a community.

The story of A Christmas Carol resonates with everyone, as the transformation of Scrooge represents every single person’s journey, of discovering the goodness that lies within all of us. As Ebenezer Scrooge goes from a person of indifference to compassion and from hate to love, the message of the show prevails—that love transforms and changes us all for the better. After years of idling by and living in the dark pits of bitterness and rage, Scrooge begins to see the light after the ghosts of past, present, and future pay him a visit, stirring him back into the gentle, compassionate man he once was.

A Christmas Carol stars theater veteran Miguel Faustmann as Ebenezer Scrooge, Noel Rayos as Jacob Marley and Mr. Fezziwig, Franco Laurel as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Nico Dans as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Rissey Reyes as the Ghost of Christmas Future, and Jaime Yupangco and Elai Estrella as Tiny Tim.

Rounding up the cast are Jon Abella as Bob Cratchit, Tricia Canilao as Mrs. Cratchit, Dawn Eduave as Mrs. Fezziwig, Laurence Mossman as Young Ebenezer, Arman Ferrer as Fred, Mitzie Lao as Emily, Gian Gloria as Sally, Krystal Brimner and Rayne Cortez as Grace Smythe, Tory Cortez as Jonathon, Omar Uddin and Diego Soler as Scrooge at 12, Simone Martinez and Cerise Ramirez as Fan, Joe Ng and Bourne Luna as Fred’s son, Kyle Francisco as Martha Cratchit, MC dela Cruz as Mr. Smythe, JP Basco as Young Marley, Josh Ramirez as John William Scrooge, Kendrick Ibasco as Beadle, Vyen Villanueva as Mr. Hawkins, Jourdan Bartolome as Old Joe, Mariella Laurel as Scrooge’s mother, Peachy Atilano-Guevara as Mrs. Mops, Shalee Vicencio as Mrs. Hawkins and Joni Galeste.
