This Adaptation has a very flexible Cast size. In the past, the production has been performed with as few as 22 and as many as 35, however, the number could easily be as large as desired and could probably be reduced with some creative direction.
The Adaptation has been orchestrated for only 5 musicians: Conductor/ Keyboard I, Keyboard II, Violin, Flute/Clarinet, & Percussion. This allows every production to be able to afford the cost of hearing the fully-intended sound.
While the story of A Christmas Carol has many locations, artistically, the set can (and has) been done with a minimal unit set and creative lighting.
As a new piece, you can be sure your audience has not seen this Adaptation or heard this music before. This adpatation has been proven to appeal to both first-time Christmas Carol viewers as well as die-hard Dickens fans! It can instantly become an annual tradition for your theatre!
