The Dickens classic tale of the awakening of Ebenezer Scrooge's conscience remains the most thoughtful—and class-conscious—holiday tradition, and this excellent adaption by Luther Hanson at City Theatre is a very good one. Mingling traditional Christmas music and an ensemble that functions as a Greek chorus, it's carried—as it ought to be—by the outstanding performance of Lew Rooker as a towering Scrooge who scares the bejesus out of people until his heart is thawed.
