Don’t Miss A Christmas Carol, The Musical at The Naples Players!

After more than a decade-long run at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden, A Christmas Carol: the Musical is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens’ most well-known story.  From November 23 – December 18 and sponsored locally by Lake Michigan Credit Union, this classic holiday production is on in Blackburn Hall at The Naples Players.

Broadway heavy hitters Alan Menken (Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Seussical, Once on This Island), breathe fantastic new life into the classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge (Brad Brenner) and his ghostly encounters.

Show Director and CEO & Executive Artistic Director, Bryce Alexander, will be joined by Assistant Director Diane Davis, Choreographer Dawn Lebrecht Fornara, Music Director Charles Fornara, Scenic Designer Sadie Ward, Lighting Designer Justin Miller, Sound Designers Jacob Myny and Bradley Van Houten, Costume Designer Dot Auchmoody, Stage Manager Lucia Standridge, and Choreography Assistant Erica Sample.

“This production has all of the depth and spectacle that we’ve come to expect from a Broadway production, but its shorter length makes it a perfect night out at the theater for the whole family,” said Bryce Alexander.

Bryce will lead an all-star ensemble cast of Naples favorites, many of whom have become regular staples of The Naples Players most popular shows. The cast includes (in alphabetical order): SANTI ALEZARD, ALEENA ARICO, ROBIN BACHE GRAY, VERONICA BECERRA, EMIR BILEN, MAXIMUS BOGERT, MADDIE BRENDEL, BRAD BRENNER, BRAXTON CABRERA, WILLIAM CONDIT, JORDAN CRAWFORD, FRANK SCOTT DAVIS, VIVIENNE ENGELMANN, ELIZABETH FINCHER, LIN HART, CINDY HILE, KEVIN KENNEALLY, OLIVIA LACHANCE, JOSEPH LOIACONO, PAUL LOPRESTI, ELIZABETH MARCANTONIO, LIZZY MEHLER, SYDNEY MILLER, ALEX MINARIK, GAVIN OTT, BRET POULTER, TOM REX, ROSEANN RUGGIERO, SANDRA SALCEDO, LORELAI VEGA, RENEE VREHAS, and BEALEY CATE WHITE.

A Red Carpet event open to the public is slated for Wednesday, November 23 from 6:30pm – 7:30pm and features local vendors, food, drinks, and live music from the band Chariot.
