(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.
