Title: OK, but not memorable
Review: Bought this because I love A Christmas Carol and Basil Rathbone, but this musical was a disappointment. Singing was nice, but it hindered the storyline causing important scenes to be left out. The cover shows a dark haired Basil Scrooge, but in the show, Scrooge is white haired. The ghost of Christmas past and present are too similar, bearded long haired men. Belle is a great singer, but too old for this role, she looks like she's in her 30s. Several scenes are devoted to Martha and her singing to Tiny Tim, no other Christmas Carol favored Martha this way and this was a waste, would have preferred more scene time with Mrs Cratchit. Bob Cratchit was uninteresting, won't be watching this again, too painful to see A Christmas Carol muddled this way...
