THE MAIN

CHARACTER IN A CHRISTMAS CAROL

HAS BEEN A LOT OF FACES OVER THE

YEARS.

FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS ONLY ONE

MAN HAS PLAYED SCROOGE AT THE

MUSIC THEATER.

HE HAS BECOME A CLASSIC

HIMSELF.

WHILE LEARNING A THING OR TWO

ABOUT THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.

I AM DAVID COFFEE AND I COME

UP FROM TEXAS.

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING SCROOGE,

THIS IS MY 22ND YEAR TO DO THE

ROLE HERE.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL IS A

HOLIDAY MUST SEE.

DAVID COFFEE'S JOB SO -- IS TO

BRING HIM TO LIFE.

[ INDISCERNIBLE ]

HE IS ONE OF THOSE FEW

CHARACTERS THAT YOU GET TO PLAY

THAT HAS SUCH A TREMENDOUS

JOURNEY AND SUCH A TREMENDOUS

TRANSFORMATION AND CHANGE.

THAT IS ALWAYS WHAT ACTORS LOVE.

.

--

HE EMBRACES A DIFFERENT

FUTURE.

I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE HAVE AN

OPTION TO CHANGE.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

THE MESSAGE OF CHRISTMAS IS

LOVE.

IT IS THAT MOMENT TO

REEXPERIENCE WHAT LOVE AND

UNDERSTANDING CAN DO FOR THE

WORLD.

AT LEAST THAT IS THE WAY I LIKE

LOOK 0001 GOOD WAY TO LOOK AT

IT

INDEED.

YOU STILL HAVE SOMETIME TO SEE

IT.

ALL THESE LAST 22 YEARS YOU
