Molly’s laid back outfit of a white tank top and overalls outline her kind personality and how she does not need much to live a happy life. The spacious loft where Molly can do her pottery and carve wooden sculptures depicted her skill as a creative artist. The loft was surrounded by brick wall which was actually missing some brick, and it really made the scene look like present day New York City. In the scene where we get to see subway ghost slow down time was incredible. The actors made choppy movement to express that their movement were being manipulated. The flashing lights and the orchestra changed the perception of the audience, making us believe that time was actually being slowed down.

Dickens' fantastic descriptions drew an image of a sharp, misanthropic, covetous old miser. His greed for wealth and his superb selfishness made him stand out like a goose in a queue of ducks compared to the charity men's benevolence and his comely nephew's good heart. as "the book" describes, Scrooge is a "tightfisted hand at the grindstone...hard and sharp as flint, solitary as an oyster. "(page 12), highlighting his selfishness and hostility.

John Singleton is a phenomenal film director who is also known for the critically acclaimed movie Boyz N the Hood; I was surprised to find that this outstanding director is also from the same background as the characters in his films; he grew up in South Central Los Angeles.

At the end of the play they have 8 little scenes that was covered over 10 minutes. This is when everyone has left the house alone, it starts to decay. They had really good special effects with showing how the house was decaying, by the chandelier falling, or when a shelve that had plates on top of it fell. Through out this time, between the little snippets, they turn of the lights off and put fog into the theater. To me this showed the course of time, and was able to project the lights more.

With the musical being so emotional, there is a lot of adult content.
