There is no question that Kelsey Grammar, Jason Alexander, and Alan Menken are talented people. But this rendition of the Christmas Carol may be the very worst I have ever seen. It stank. The line deliveries were flat. There was no passion in the characters or in the lines that were given. I've seen better acting in kindergarten plays.
I suspect the problem is that the above people are more steeped in comedy and light hearted musicals. The Christmas Carol is serious and needs passion.
I recommend my favorite version - the 1970 Albert Finney version called "Scrooge". The Allistair Sims version, or George C. Scott version are far better than this production. The Mr McGoo version was better than this version.
