tripadvisorThe idea of Christmas Carol Part 2 seemed like it had a lot of possibilities. Well, none were realized.It started with a narrator with a speech impediment. Well, being inclusive might have been a factor, but it didn't come across well.Then, the plot... there wasn't one. It seemed like a series of disjointed scenes, none of which added continuity or created a cohesive story. Spoofs often have a running gag. If there was one, it didn't make it to the script.The leading player had a problem finding the notes. He didn't have a terrible voice, but it wasn't good either.The supporting characters were supposed to be part of the spoof, but they were neither funny or good. Too bad they couldn't remember their lines.On the other hand, the popcorn was good. We finished our popcorn and left the show at the intermission. We wasted our time and money. Don't do the same.
MoreThe play was very good - with lots of memorable characters, funny situations, and good music. They often do parodies of pop songs, and during this play they did versions of Smooth Criminal, We Are Young, All Star and others. Most of the time there is a character that sort of steals the play as the most outstanding actor/ best written character, however, this time there were so many good characters it was hard to pick a favorite. We definitely would recommend it.
MoreI really did not appreciate a lot of the humor in this play. I thought the company was not as sensitive to their audience. They were little kids in the Audience and the play was full of sexual innuendos which I did not find appropriate. The company also poked fun at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. These jokes showed no class and no respect for the church or its members. I will not be returning. They also made fun of other groups in Salt Lake which I did not appreciate to get there. It is too bad because they are very talented and the rest of the show was funny, but those jokes completely ruined the play for me.
MoreThis was my first time and brought 3 kids (16,12, 9). We saw a show called Downton Dead. It's is a very casual laid back environment and everyone is incredibly friendly. The show was family friendly with enough wit to keep the adults entertained. The price is great, just don't expect a serious/fancy venue. We can't wait to go back.
MoreLove this theatre, I came to the five years ago and I have not left. My whole family comes to the shows and volunteers.
