Introduce Yourself to Our Audience:
What is your favorite song to sing in the show and why?
My favorite song to sing is “Link by Link”. It’s such a tone shift from the rest of the show and it’s so fun to be spooky ghosts!
What is the most rewarding part of being part of such a large ensemble cast?
I love hearing how great our cast sounds when we’re signing together in harmony!
What is your favorite part of the creative process, whether it be during rehearsals or performances?
My favorite part of the process is getting to perform the full show with props and costumes, it really ties everything together.
How does the energy of the audience impact your performance?
Energy of the audience really changes the experience of performing – a high energy audience gets me pumped up and excited too!
What sort of person is going to love this show?
This show is for anyone who wants to see a heartwarming Christmas story or who likes shows with lots of singing, dancing and showmanship.
What is your favorite holiday memory?
Seeing all my cousins and extended family at my grandparents’ house every Christmas day stands out in my mind. Once we were done with gifts we’d all run around playing games outside together!
“A Christmas Carol” opened on December 6th and runs through December 22nd at Connecticut Theatre Company. Tickets on sale now!
“Lynn Ahrens and Mike Ockrent’s snappy book makes us laugh while the catchy songs (Ahrens also wrote the lyrics) leave us tapping our feet; together, the music and movement contains an irrepressible happiness.” – Arifa Akbar, The Guardian
“Although this is a Christmas show, it does have universal themes that may resonate with people of all faiths. The story reminds us of all the poor and lonely people who need help to survive. It brings up continuing battles for compassion and equality, that are as evident today as they were in 1844 London.” – Jennifer Goldman, Daily Democrat
