Celebrating the 11th anniversary of ‘What the Dickens!’, Deborah Mason's Cambridge Youth Dance Company, with their roster of stellar guest artists (Boston Ballet alum Clyde Nantais returns as Ebenezer Scrooge, Ryan P. Casey and Jenny Oliver as Bob and Mrs. Cratchit, Ruka White as Marley, Yosi Karahashi as the Ghost of Christmas Future), are bringing their acclaimed production of 'What the Dickens!' to John Hancock Hall for six performances, Dec. 14 – 22, 2019.
Weaving contemporary dance, ballet, tap, hip hop, flamenco, projections, narration and more, ‘What The Dickens!’ (a Boston Globe Top Holiday Pick) is an enchanting dance-theater rendition of Dickens’ classic, timely story of transforming greed into kindness and joy. Produced and Directed by Deborah Mason and Leslie Woodies (Broadway veteran and Boston Ballet alum), What The Dickens! bursts with “positive themes of humanity, love, inclusion, and hope that will make your heart soar.” CYDP artistic director Deborah Mason says, “That's our message. This is our gift to Boston.”
With original choreography and concept by David Drummond, other choreographic contributors include Ryan Casey, Mariano Figuero, Khalid Hill, Celia Marino, Deborah Mason, Corinne Mason, Jenny Oliver, Jeryl Palana Pilapil, Ruka White, and Leslie Woodies.
