Disappointed with adaptations, but still great actors
Leeds Playhouse的点评
点评：This was an early Christmas gift from my husband. He knew how much I’ve always loved A Christmas Carol — I’ve read the novel every year since I was a young girl, and we watch the film versions every Christmas. Having never been to a live production before, I was genuinely excited.
However, I quickly realised that I’m not a fan of heavy adaptations of classic novels. Although the actors were excellent in their own right, I struggled with how much the storyline had been altered. The heart of the original tale felt diluted.
The staging itself was impressive, but our seats — second row from the front and off to the side — were disappointing. They weren’t cheap, yet the angle obscured a lot of the action. I also personally found the use of sign language difficult to follow from my position, which meant I couldn’t fully immerse myself. If I didn’t already know the story so well, I think I would have been quite lost.
Finally, the ending felt rushed. Very little time was spent showing Scrooge as a changed man, which is the emotional core of the entire story. It seemed as though too many additional ideas had been squeezed in, and the true essence of A Christmas Carol got lost along the way.
Overall, while I appreciated the effort and talent on stage, the adaptation and viewing experience just didn’t work for me, so I left feeling underwhelmed.

翻译：这是我丈夫提前送我的圣诞礼物。他知道我一直很喜欢《圣诞颂歌》——从小到大，我每年都会读这本小说，而且每年圣诞节我们都会看电影版。之前从未看过现场演出，所以我真的非常兴奋。
然而，我很快意识到自己并不喜欢对经典小说进行大幅度改编。虽然演员们的表演都很出色，但我很难接受故事情节被改动得如此之多。原著的核心感觉被冲淡了。
舞台布景本身令人印象深刻，但我们的座位——第二排靠边——却令人失望。票价不便宜，但这个角度挡住了很多视线。而且，从我的位置很难看懂手语，这让我无法完全沉浸其中。如果我不是对这个故事如此熟悉，我想我会完全摸不着头脑。
最后，结尾感觉有些仓促。这部剧几乎没有花时间展现斯克鲁奇的转变，而这恰恰是整个故事的情感核心。感觉像是塞进了太多其他元素，反而掩盖了《圣诞颂歌》的真正精髓。
总的来说，虽然我欣赏舞台上的表演和才华，但这部改编剧和观剧体验并不合我的口味，所以看完之后感觉很失望。
