“…Arnold has become something of a definitive Scrooge. But it’s more than mere skinflintery and ‘bah humbugs.’ Arnold has a wonderful way of revealing character, choosing just the right moments to remind us that Scrooge was once a man of nobler aspirations. Arnold delivers Dickens’ rich dialogue with zeal, but needs no words to communicate the anguish of a ruined man.”

Chip Arnold as Ebenezer Scrooge
“Chip is back as Ebenezer Scrooge. I might as well use the word commands again because that’s what he does to the stage when he’s on it. The bitterness, pain and tragedy of a man whose love of money has poisoned every aspect of his life is there to see when we meet Arnold’s Scrooge; his transformation into a man of charity and joy becomes all the more wonderful because Arnold etches out the details like a fine craftsman.”
