In March of 1868, as part of his highly publicized, much anticipated and critically acclaimed America Reading Tour, Charles Dickens visited Buffalo, NY. He performed two sold-out shows at St. James Hall. Nearly 3000 people saw him LIVE each night. The first story he shared on that first night may be the best loved holiday tale ever written: "A Christmas Carol" the greatest storyteller of all time returns to tell his greatest story.

Buffalo News "Mike Randall's re-creation of what turned out to be Charles Dickens' farewell-to-America tour is a remarkable achievement It honors the honorable man, his crunchy characters and, most of all, the moment." -- Doug Smith, 35-year critic of Buffalo theater, now with the West Side Times. "as Charles Dickens in “A Christmas Carol” at MusicaFare Theatre, Randall hit the bullseye..." Barbara Tucker Tonawanda News ...." the characters came alive with color and flourish....we were transported to Dickens' England and didn't want to come back....Randall's command of the work was jaw-dropping...the characters seemed life-like, as if Dickens himself were speaking of people who had just left the room". Peter Anderson Host Of Time Warner's "Crossroads" "While Randall was physically the only person on stage, it seemed as though a rich cast was playing out the drama...(an) exquisite, moving performance of A Christmas Carol...."
