Reviews for "A Christmas Carol" at the Birmingham Rep directed by Nikolai Foster and choreographed by Nick Winston.

THE TIMES **** "The Fezziwigs’ party ushers in a number as bouncily “oom-pah” as anything by Lionel Bart, and Nick Winston’s heel-kicking, witty choreography rises to such occasions with alacrity."

BIRMINGHAM POST "Nick Winston’s choreography, is the right stuff to send you out into a cold winter night."

THE PUBLIC REVIEWS "Brilliant choreography from Nick Winston ensured each scene that Scrooge experienced had a different dynamic and feel. Ranging from the quiet and simple choreography of christmasses past to bright elaborate dances associated with christmas present."

THE STAGE "beautifully choreographed"

THE TELEGRAPH **** "This darkly delightful show"
