Ebenzer Scrooge's Big Jersey Christmas Show is the well-known tale of A Christmas Carol with a twist. It is set in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and there is a lot of Jersey-related humor thrown in as well. However, even if you are not from New Jersey, there's plenty of relatable humor for all. 

The cast shines. Kevin Pariseau is a formidable presence in the role of Scrooge. His four fellow cast members slip into various roles with great ease and incredible skill. Kudos to Orville Mendoza, who not only flits back and forth between two characters in the same scene, but at one point even plays both of them at the same time.

There is even a bit of a holiday jam session at the end of the show. If you are looking for a show brimming with the spirit of the season that is at once extremely familiar and quite original, this one fits the bill. 

And that's our view. For more about Ebenezer Scrooge's Big Jersey Christmas Show or to purchase tickets, visit, www.georgestreetplayhouse.org/events/detail/ebenezer-scrooges-big-jersey-christmas-show
