BWW Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Ridgefield Theater Barn

Some people may wonder how it is possible to successfully pull off A CHRISMAS CAROL with only one actor playing the twenty-five different roles.  When you have an actor of the caliber of Patrick Spadaccino acting under the stellar direction of Scott R. Brill, this can and has been done with tremendous success.  Patrick Spadaccino’s myriad of roles are so convincing that it is easy for the audience to forget that this is only one actor bringing all this greatness to the stage!  His accents and voice inflections make it very clear which character is speaking, while his narration fills in the gaps.  The feeling, emotion, and energy he brings for a ninety minute non-stop performance is incredibly impressive.   Some nontraditional comical quips that he throws in are well received by the audience. The Ridgefield Theater Barn has returned with a truly great show!
