Has become a family favorite, 7 January 2005
10/10
Author: swbmoss from United States

My family absolutely loves this musical. Nearly a month after Christmas we find ourselves watching this musical several times a week. The performance provides an excellent opportunity to discuss and teach children the countless lessons of this classic. The music and lyrics touch the heart as few productions can. What a joy to hear your children sing along with the wonderful performances and vocals. Each and every actor does a tremendous, heartfelt job drawing you in to this accurate retelling of Dickens work. I believe this performance will become a classic, and our family believes it is simply the best made for TV production of any kind we have seen in 40 years. A true masterpiece.
