Christmas Carol: The Rap Musical

Think Hamilton meets Scrooge!!

This show was sold out for the entire run at Fringe Festival and now we are proud to bring it to The Fallser Club.

Christmas Carol: The Rap Musical reimagines Dickens' classic in a style reminiscent of Hamilton, bringing the energy and storytelling power of hip hop to one of literature's most enduring tales. By showcasing the distinct sounds and styles of hip hop history alongside the traditions of a Victorian Christmas, the show invites you to keep Christmas in your heart all the year.

Cast

Frederick Kinglee II A.K.A Duece Phoenix (Jacob Marley)

Frederick Kinglee II, known musically as Duece Phoenix, is a Philadelphia rapper excited to join the cast of Christmas Carol: The Rap Musical. His musical influences range from Mos Def and Slick Rick to punk and rap rock. His writing pairs thoughtful wordplay with a direct,

honest approach to expression. His recordings include “Big Pond,” “9:30,” and “Cloud in the Sky,” a collaboration with Chris Vance. Beyond the studio, Duece has performed with a full band and enjoys connecting with audiences. He looks forward to bringing that

same spirit to this fresh telling of Dickens’ classic alongside his fellow cast members.

Nate Rekkia (Richard)

Returning to the stage after a decade-long hiatus, Nate is thrilled to take on the role of Richard in CCRM! Along with his great love of experiencing the arts, Nate spends his free time playing chess, sculpting, and kayaking.

Joa Inneya (Ghost of Christmas Past)

Joa is a multidisciplinary artist. Originally trained as a screen actor, Joa made her theater debut as Connie in Lucy Prebble’s The Effect. Her background in the visual arts, as well as her many past lives as a nomad, inform her current practice as a performer. Her work witnesses

the points of friction between body, psyche, and spirit. She is bilingual and enjoys the specificity of language.

Thenegard Fils-Aime (Bob Cratchit)

Thenegard is excited to be part of the cast of Christmas Carol: The Rap Musical. He loves exploring characters, collaborating with fellow artists, and bringing meaningful stories to life for audiences. He has trained at The Actor’s Lab under Bryan Fox and continues to develop

his craft both on stage and on screen. When he’s not acting, he enjoys spending time with his family and staying active through fitness and martial arts. He is thrilled to bring Bob Cratchit to life in this fresh, modern retelling of the classic story.

Connor Kealey (Fezziwig)

Connor is hyped to play Fezziwig at The Fallser Club in Christmas Carol: The Rap Musical, written by his friend and cast mate, Michael Radzwilla. Connor holds a Master’s in Arts Administration from Colorado State University, blending his love for arts and education by teaching

fifth grade and co-directing the school drama club. Some of his favorite past credits include Dave in The Full Monty and Joe in 9 to 5 the Musical, which he also produced. Heartfelt thanks to Mike, Maura and Ryan, the rest of the crew, his cast mates, and as always his family

and loved ones for their constant support.

Diamond Franklin (Belle)

Diamond is a classically trained vocalist and Actress specializing in Opera, Jazz and R&B. A Philadelphia native, Diamond has performed onstage with legendary artists Andrea Bocelli and Jon Bon Jovi. Most recently, Diamond starred as Alice 2 in Opera on Tap Philadelphia’s

production of Alice Tierney in the 2025 Philly Fringe Festival and was also a top 5 finalist in the 14th annual Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition.

Reef the Lost Cauze (Ghost of Christmas Present)

For the past 25 years, Sharif Lacey, aka Reef the Lost Cauze has been a prolific and prominent artist, activist and educator in the city of Philadelphia. Since releasing his first album in 2001, he has gone on to amass a celebrated catalog of songs that span into the hundreds.

His true calling card, though, is his captivating live performances, which he attributes to his theater training as a youth at the legendary Freedom Theater. Born and raised in West Philly, he has resided in the South Philly area since 1999, where he lives happily to this day with his

wife and 3 children (and a dog and two cats).

Michael Radzwilla (Writer/Producer/Co-Director/Ebenezer Scrooge)

is thrilled to bring Christmas Carol: The Rap Musical to The Fallser Club! The last role he played was Mr. Sowerberry in Oliver! — also a Charles Dickens musical. He studies acting under Bryan Fox at Actor’s Lab, where the first performance of this show's first song took place.

When not writing Christmas rap musicals, Michael teaches chess to elementary school kids. Tremendous gratitude to the cast and crew, especially Ryan, Maura, and his mom (who is coming to the show even though she doesn’t like rap).
