I think that boy in the first scene is supposed to be Peter Cratchitt, so this one would not be needed here. But let's leave it in, and Todd can decide in the end.

Both roles excellent. That boy in the streets sounds like a regular urchin :thumbs: thanks

both PL ok.

I think it's supposed to be an unnamed Cratchitt son who is neither Peter (because he's the eldest and these are supposed to be younger) or Tim (because he comes in on his father's shoulder just after this) but he is still listed as boy like the at the end even though I'm pretty that's supposed to be a random other child not a Cratchitt kid, when unsure it's usually better to err on the side of recording anyway and as you say Todd can decide.

Thanks for the fast PL, Sonia!

I've always loved A Christmas Carol ever since I saw the Disney animated Mickey version as a kid, it's not the easiest for me to record right now so I'm happy to be able to contribute a little with these bit parts

It was a pleasure to record some beloved lines from this Christmas classic. Thanks for organizing this project, Todd! Maybe we can record the officially sanctioned play version someday.

And there are 7 (+?) more unauthorized versions from just after the novel release...!

Thanks, Todd

Ah-ha! I have found another Christmas Carol version, from 1877, that includes that immortal line (missing in the version we are doing now): [Tiny Tim] "I say God bless us, every one." It's a full 5 acts long, too.

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40729 by Charles A. Scott. Maybe we'll do that after this one is done....

That's a neat detail how it has it split into 'staves' instead of acts to be like the book
