TIMES WERE HARD IN 1860’S ENGLAND TOO, BUT CASSIDY’S “SCROOGE” SHOWS

THAT HOLIDAY JOY CAN OVERCOME TOUGH ECONOMY



Parma Hts. – Cassidy Theatre, Inc. presents the holiday musical  
Scrooge. The show will run at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m.  
Sundays Dec.5 through Dec. 21 at Cassidy Theatre, 6200 Pearl Rd. Parma  
Hts.  Tickets are on sale now for $20 for adults and $15 for seniors  
and Students and can be purchased by calling the Cassidy Theatre at  
(440) 842-4600.  Scrooge features book, music and lyrics by Leslie  
Bricusse.  The Cassidy production is Directed and Choreographed by  
Lester Currie, with Musical Direction by Kira Seaton.

Scrooge is the stage adaptation of the movie musical retelling of  
Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol in which cold-souled  
Ebenezer Scrooge has a change of heart after spirit visitations on  
Christmas Eve. Renowned writer-composer-lyricist Bricusse adapted A  
Christmas Carol, into a movie musical in 1970 starring Albert Finney  
as Scrooge. In 1992, the stage musical adapted from the film was  
mounted in the U.K. under the title Scrooge: The Musical featuring the  
Bricusse songs and starring Anthony Newley.

“I think the message of the show is particularly important now when we  
are in hard times” says Alex Nalbach who plays Scrooge.   “The  
characters in the show – Scrooge included – are people who are living  
through hard times.  What keeps the community going…is that they  
always reach out, they always help each other.  It’s a nice  
undercurrent of the show that it’s community that counts.” In addition
