THEATER REVIEW: Christmas Carol comes to life with NCT
The talented cast and crew of Narrows Community Theater (NCT)delivered three fantastically gorgeous and heart-warmingpresentations of A Christmas Carol: The Musical during itsopening weekend at the Fort Hamilton Army Base Theater and,fortunately, it’s not too late to make it a Merry Christmas for thewhole family and see the show for yourself.
The special effects – such as glow-in-the-dark costuming andsmoke billowing out of the fireplace – supported the existingskill and exuberance of the cast, who prove that NCT continues tobring a Broadway-quality production to the local stage withcommunity charm.
The first to engage the audience was the kids, ranging in agefrom six to 18 years old, who impressed with their poise andtalent. Diana Marie Paunetto limps along on her prop crutch like achamp, and whether singing or speaking, radiates the goodness,cheer and hope that makes her character, Tiny Tim Cratchit, soendearing and life-changing an influence on her dad’s boss, grumpyold Ebenezer Scrooge.
