| "A bracing, absorbing, three-actor version of A Christmas Carol that emphasizes the moral behind the story: that Yuletide is a time to reclaim one's sense of compassion for others less fortunate than oneself." ––Misha Berson 12/17/2004 |

| "Mukhalian, Smith and Moore trade-off stints of playing Scrooge in Fellow Passengers, a spare but in some ways spectacular version of Charles Dickens' 1843 story A Christmas Carol. What the show lacks in impressive costumes, settings and crowd scenes it makes up for in inspired acting. The performers showcase Dickens' humane insights and witty writing." ––Joe Adcock 12/17/2005 |

| "At this time of year, when Dickens' story has such particular resonance, this evocative, thoughtfully realized production is bound to elicit as much surprise as delight. For those who think they know A Christmas Carol so well that there's no need for further exposure, Fellow Passengers is a refreshing and vital reintroduction to Dickens' masterpiece." ––Chris Comte, 12/14/2004
"In Fellow Passengers playwright Greg Carter has brought the story back to life more certainly than the ghost of Jacob Marley, and he uses that renewed vitality to return us to something much closer to Dickens. In the place of the usual sweet sentimentality and festive affirmation of good spirits and merrymaking, this superb production gives us a real ghost story, fearsome in its threat and uncompromising in its moral imperative... Make no mistake, these are three actors working at the top of their game, in a show that allows them to do everything that live theatre is uniquely capable of doing..." ––Jerry Kraft 12/16/2005

| "I'm an annual fan of ACT's A Christmas Carol (the only Christmas sap I unabashedly lap), and Fellow Passengers to the Grave, a three-actor adaptation rooted more deeply in the original text, makes an illuminating companion piece. Todd Jefferson Moore is great, adding more human nuance to Scrooge than the usual muttering caricatures. He and the other actors scamper like children across Erin Eave's cluttered-attic set..." ––Brendan Kiley 12/15/2005
"If you insist on seeing holiday-themed theater, Fellow Passengers is the best bang for your 15 bucks." ––Annie Wagner 12/16/2004
