Reviews
“The most nuanced performance, though, is by Shaquan Pearson as Young Scrooge. […] in “Carol” he’s charged with the toughest acting burden in the play—depicting a young man in love, full of joy and promise, who loses his way. Morganne Chu, as Scrooge’s fiancée, does most of the heavy lifting between them. When she tells him “May you be happy in the life you’ve chosen,” her heartbreak is palpable. Pearson plays it with a resigned stoicism, almost victim-like. Together, they work.”

“There’s just something earnest […] it makes for an enjoyable performance. The same is true of Morganne Chu, playing Belle, Scrooge’s one-time love of the past. She is endearing and coyly flirtatious but in that ‘tortured’ moment of their parting, her emotional fortitude washes over the stage like a tidal wave.”

"Morganne Chu (Terry Thompson) is a singing and dancing tour-de-force, and she has some really effective laugh lines."
