Silver and Gold is the song used

The song’s actually Justice Delivers it’s Death, it just opens and closes with lyrics from Silver and Gold, the name of the album from which it originated.

Anyway, the use of the song is brilliant, as is the overall production. Jefferson Mays is exceptional as always. I’m surprised some people are upset at the darker elements, it’s not like there isn’t basis for it from the source material.

He talks non-stop so even though he is performing different characters, it felt almost like I was stuck in a non stop monologue. I was sitting in Side Orchestra C so I could see facial expressions and lighting but missed set effects. The last scene was quite beautiful but I cannot recommend this unless you love monologues."

Legitimate question and I'm not trying to be snarky, but isn't that what you expect from a one man show? Like...there's only gonna be one person on stage talking so what were you expecting?

One person shows can also have substantial moments of imagery and movement that are non-verbal. The performer doesn't need to talk non stop.

Has anyone had any success with the Bob Crachit free tickets? I applied earlier in the week for next week but haven't heard back either way yet.

I watched this show and it looked like there was a school group present as I saw a lot of students of high school age. 

I watched from rear orchestra section and overall the audience was quiet and respectful. Didn't have any noise issues and since there was no intermission, a few people did stand up to leave their seats and go to the bathroom and return. 

I'm glad they brought this to Broadway. Unfortunately I think its grosses will only get better after Thanksgiving when most New Yorkers will be more in the holiday spirit. I hope it does well and I do think families can watch this but it may be better to do so with older kids than toddlers. The Jack Thorne version at the Lyceum theater back in 2019 is better for younger kids.

Just a quick question...

When there were other people behind Jefferson onstage, those were projections, right? I feel like it should be obvious but just want to make sure.

WOW. I know someone will be there trying to get pictures and things signed...I feel like they're one step behind stalker behavior.

Fabulous production. Jefferson Mays is a gem. Staging, lighting, sound - everything built to enhance his performance. Probably the best show I’ve seen all year. Don’t miss this!!

I thought this was quite charming and did get me in the holiday spirit. I would be lying if I said I didn’t shed a tear or two. The physical production is quite grand and atmospheric, which was fabulous.

The audience was horrific, many people getting up and leaving, changing seats, talking, unwrapping candy. So unbelievably irritating.

Unfortunately, it was rather hard to understand Mays at times, especially as Marley.

Definitely recommend. :)

I’ve seen this twice now and was enthralled both times. Mays is a fantastic storyteller. My biggest complaint is how rushed the climactic graveyard scene is. If I wasn’t familiar with the story I would have no idea that it was Scrooge’s grave. They’ve had this elaborate set with lights and turntables for the past hour and a half and they couldn’t take ten seconds to light up the tombstone and spin it around to make it clear/have a bigger impact?

Fascinating about the audience, as I saw an early preview with a heavily paper house and it was the same. Easily the worst audience I've ever been in, You'd think it was a baseball game on a quiet tuesday with a losing team.

I wonder what is about...is that just the Times Square crowd it attracts?

I got the impression that many people were surprised this is a one man show.
