Review by Bob Anthony from AllArtsReview4U

The holidays opened with a "bang" with MetroStage's "A BROADWAY CHRISTMAS CAROL" (To 12/19) which one hopes would last through 2011! Three highly professional comedy singers (Matthew A. Anderson/Peter Boyer/Donna Migliaccio) present parodies of Broadway tunes adapting them to the script of the old chestnut "A Christmas Carol" with Scrooge and his cohorts. The costumes changes are fast and furious as these three must switch into many characterizations...it must be not unlike the "Tuna Folks" with the dressers backstage. Anyway, it is a howl every minute as this zany tale about the old miser is recreated with so many farcical bits. Thanks also goes to the book and lyrics by Kathy Feininger and the superb comedy direction by Larry Kaye. Aaron Broderick was superb at the lone piano but even he plays his bit parts well. Janine Gulisano does wonders with the period costumes and Allison Campbell does a superb Christmas set to get one into the holiday mood. Nancy Harry gets kudos for her fine choreography which is half of the fun of the show. This is a highly recommended show that word-of-mouth should prove a sell-out. So get those tickets as holiday presents.
