Behind the Scenes with “Scrooge”
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the stage production in London’s West End that was adaptation of Leslie Bricusse’s movie musical Scrooge – and which starred his longtime writing partner Anthony Newley in the title role. And surprisingly came across a BBC Radio recording of the entire production done live on tour with an audience, which I posted here.
What I also came across was an impressively-detailed TV documentary on the making of the stage show as it prepared for the West End after having toured England for four years. What’s so worthwhile about the 24-minute documentary is that it includes a bit of video footage of Newley performing in the role. It also gives an excellent view of the massive work required to put on any stage show, especially a musical.
