A Christmas Carol Tacoma Theatre reviews
Forgettable
Having lived outside the US, I had never seen the A Christmas Carol but had them on my 'must see' list. For a fan like me, all I needed was a few of their top ten all time songs mixed in between the newer stuff to make it worthwhile. I concur with other reviews which expressed disappointment in the A Christmas Carol show at the state theatre. The set was heavily weighted towards the newer stuff. Big disappointment that they didn't play Mr Jones. I guess the crowd spoke with their bums and thumbs - they spent most of the time seated, looking at their phones. The crowd only stood for one song - 'round here', clearly a crowd favorite.....so why not play a few more crowd favorites? That is bread-and-butter stuff. I understand that they must get sick of playing it but you go to a A Christmas Carol concert expecting it, especially when you had never heard the real thing live. I felt robbed.
