Milwaukee Rep Continues A Cherished Tradition With The 49th Anniversary …
For me at least, the Christmas Season doesn’t truly get underway in Milwaukee until the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s presentation of A Christmas Carol opens at the Pabst Theater. Even though you know the story, this adaptation by Director and Rep Artistic Director Mark Clements is the one to see. And even if you have seen it recently, this would be a good year to make the time to see it again. I felt some extra magic this year…yes the story is unchanged although Clements version brings the core story cleanly to the fore. And the set and lighting once again put us in awe of the theatrical spectacle brought to bear in the elegant Pabst Theater.
Yes, there is all that but certainly much of the magic is from the cast itself. Clements has always excelled at bringing the Dickens’ characters to life with just the right actors. And this year of course is no exception, but for me the cast felt immensely connected and involved than ever. Bravo.

The Milwaukee Rep’s ‘A Christmas Carol’
In less than 100 pages, Charles Dickens wrote one of the most enduring literary works of the 19th or any other recent century. A Christmas Carol has become essential to the holiday season, familiar to millions who have never read it thanks to countless adaptations for stage and screen. The Milwaukee Repertory Theater first produced A Christmas Carolin 1976, and it quickly joined ranks with “The Hallelujah Chorus” and The Nutcracker as a beloved performance of the season. It returns to the Pabst Theater for its 49th year.
The Rep’s British-born artistic director, Mark Clements, recalls that his “first encounter with A Christmas Carol was on the radio as a child—it was haunting yet deeply moving. I’ve always been drawn to its themes of redemption and transformation, which felt both magical and meaningful even at a young age.”
