CHICAGO—The curtain has gone up on the Goodman Theatre’s production of “A Christmas Carol,” and once again, the Chicago theater company proves that one can never get too much of a good thing. This year’s presentation of Charles Dickens’s classic is as good as it gets.
Although this holiday theatrical tradition is now in its 48th year, it’s a tribute to the Goodman that those who have seen the show before will appreciate its new insights. Newcomers will be dazzled by the presentation of exhilarating stagecraft. From kids to adults, everyone will enjoy the special effects and yet will be moved by the profound humanity of the Christmas story.
