A G&S, CAROL: A LIVE RADIO PLAY

1 upcoming performance in New York

At Symphony Space, *A G&S, CAROL: A LIVE RADIO PLAY* reframes Dickens’s holiday fable through the lens of Gilbert and Sullivan, staged in the style of a mid-century radio broadcast. The piece leans on voice, timing, and music rather than spectacle, with featured performers Ani DiFranco, Tony Trischka, Abby Jimenez, Annabelle Gurwitch, and Caro Claire Burke. It sits in a New York tradition of concert-hall storytelling that treats operetta as living repertoire, not museum material. The most telling choice is its stripped-down format, which makes the satire read cleaner and sharper.
