Repertory Philippines proudly
announces its special holiday treat for the entire family with the new
production of SCROOGE THE MUSICAL live on stage.
SCROOGE
THE MUSICAL is set to open on November 21, 2014 at Onstage, 2/F, Greenbelt 1,
Paseo de Roxas cor. Legazpi St., Makati City.
Renowned
writer-composer-lyricist Leslie Bricusse has adapted the classic Charles
Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol, into the hit musical. SCROOGE THE MUSICAL
closely follows the classic story with the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge undergoing
a profound experience of redemption over the course of a Christmas Eve night,
after being visited by the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley and the
Ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
Based
on the 1970 film musical of the same name, the original production of SCROOGE
THE MUSICAL opened in 1992 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. After a series of UK
tours, the show opened at the London Palladium in 2005 where stage veteran
Tommy Steele took on the leading role. The production continued on tour and was
revived again for the 2012-2013 Christmas season at the London Palladium. The
musical features all the songs from the film, including the Oscar nominated
song ‘Thank You Very Much’, written by Leslie Bricusse.
The
Repertory Philippines’ production of SCROOGE THE MUSICAL will be directed by
Ms. Baby Barredo, the company’s artistic director.
The cast of SCROOGE THE
MUSICAL and the characters they portray are as follows:
Miguel Faustmann and
Chinggoy Alonso will alternately play the role of Ebenezer Scrooge – a stingy, chilly, cowardly, grumpy and
money-hungry businessman. While he is much more benevolent than before his
“caroling” experience, he is still uncertain as to the reason behind generosity
in general.
Raul
Montesa will play the role of Jacob Marley – the business partner of Scrooge
who died seven years ago.
Cara
Barredo plays the role of Ghost of Christmas Past – the first of the spirits
foretold by Marley who shows Scrooge his past Christmases.

Christmas Present – the second of the spirits foretold by Marley that shows
Scrooge Christmas celebrations in the present time.
Dwight
Angelo Vito Cruz plays the role of Ghost
of Christmas Yet-to-Come – the third spirit foretold by Marley that shows
Scrooge Christmases in the Future.
Chino
Veguillas plays the role of Bob Cratchit – Scrooge’s clerk.
Gabo
Tiongson and Soleil Luna Bueno will alternately play the role of
