Your lump of coal

Reading the largely unfavorable review of MetroStage's glorious production of "A Broadway Christmas Carol" ["A blah humbug from MetroStage," Style, Nov. 25] reminded me of why I enjoyed it so much when I saw it last month.

The reviewer grudgingly acknowledged some of the delightful shenanigans - and there are many more - that the multi-talented actors engaged in. But these were not enough to overcome her major objection to the production: the fact that it manages to "simultaneously lampoon and celebrate Charles Dickens' classic ghost story."

As a fan of both Dickens and Broadway tunes, I would not have it any other way. I found the combination of sentiment and satire to be - in the words of Goldilocks - just right.

What The Audience Members Are Saying

"Excellent acting and singing, very talented people. Loved the piano player. The songs were great with clever take-offs on broadway hits. Really enjoyed the show. Not like the typical Christmas fare. Lots and lots of fun. MetroStage never lets me down!" - Anonymous

"Okay, I literally just got home from seeing this show and found [the Washington Post's] review in my inbox (because I run a blog about Dickens, I have a Google News Alert on his name). And I think we must have seen two different shows, because I thought it was brilliant. The songs fit perfectly, the rewritten lyrics were hilarious, and the cast handled it all beautifully. I had a blast and would love to see it again." - Gina D.

"This was a fantastic production. If you want to laugh, this is a must-go-see." - Anonymous
