PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 10, 2009 -
The Musical Christmas Carol “EBENEZER” is based on Charles Dickens’ classic Holiday masterpiece.  Collaborators, Ian Desmond O’Connell for the Book, William Mearns for the Music, and Rosemary Novellino-Mearns for the Lyrics, have tried to stay very true to Dickens.
This story is a wonderful “Ghost Tale.” Ebenezer Scrooge, is an unhappy, cruel man, and much to his dismay, he is visited by four Ghosts that take him through a musical journey of his life on Christmas Eve.  He travels to his Past, come face to face with the Present and is horrified by what his Future holds.
For people who appreciate the brilliance of Charles Dickens, you will not be disappointed in the purity of this script, and for those of you who love humming the songs as you leave the theater, you will be more then satisfied.
“EBENEZER” is warm and rich in its telling of this story.  It is touching and scary when it needs to be, and has a Spiritual lifting of one’s soul when the lessons of love are revealed.
Just as Scrooge learns that “Saying Merry Christmas” to someone is a Wonderful feeling, we hope that this musical is a Loving Christmas Greeting to all of you.

John Davidson will play Scrooge in this production.  Although he was the host of two of America's favorite shows, Hollywood Squares and That's Incredible!, John Davidson was first a singer and dancer on stage. He made his Broadway debut in the 1964 production of Foxy, which also starred Bert Lahr.   John also starred in The Hallmark Hall Of Fame version of The Fantasticks and received The Theatre Guild Award for his portrayal of Curly in the Broadway revival of Oklahoma. His vast recording career includes thirteen albums and led John to headline at the major Las Vegas showrooms at Caesar’s Palace, the Las Vegas Hilton and the MGM Grand. His feature film career includes The Happiest Millionaire, Airport 80, Edward Scissorhands, and The Squeeze
