Best theater performance of Jacob Marley I've ever seen! Great job!! 👏👏

This is the second time I've seen Marley appear out of that exact armchair. I dream of directing this show one day and I definitely need to keep the chair in. In Michael Unger's production in Princeton NJ, the door flew open with smoke and strobe lights so all attention was on the door. When Scrooge closed it and turned around, Marley had "appeared" in the arm chair. A particularly fitting line since Marley has "sat beside Scrooge many a day."

This is honestly the best Jacob Marley performance I've seen in any adaptation since the 1951 version with Michael Hordern's epic wailing. This must have been an incredible production to see.
