"Brilliantly directed by Ilyse Robbins, this mash-up of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes combines wonderful performances with spot-on scenic design and well-done special effects for a generous dose of holiday cheer...The pacing and wit throughout reflect a well-written script and Robbins’ smart direction. Robbins and her team have crafted a production that is brisk, good-humored, and unexpectedly touching. For those seeking a seasonal outing that offers wit along with wonder, this one fits the bill beautifully."– Lynne Weiss, Stage and Cinema
“Director Robbins’ staging recalls her choreography work; The cast was rhythmically in sync as they delivered lines and rolled set pieces to their marks; some scene changes took on a dance-like flow. The actors breathed together and matched their walks. This physical unity added greater depth to their performances. They were so in the moment and their element that joy to be treading the boards was contagious.”
– Kitty Drexel, The New England Theatre Geek
