This splendid solo performance of Charles Dickens's holiday classic is the most theatrically fulfilling version I've ever seen. As directed by Michael Arden and designed by Dane Laffrey, the show never feels static: It surprises you at every turn, marshaling stage magic old and new to create a feast of spectacle. And the shining star at the top of the tree is the superb Jefferson Mays, who plays the narrator, Scrooge, the ghosts and dozens of others.—Adam Feldman
