* NoBudget: As with all the shows Starkid organized over the Internet during the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic this show was done on a shoestring budget with a great deal of largesse from the actors providing their own costumes, makeup, and tech. The primary reason for the failure to produce this show as a live performance was the team's modem not being able to handle the load, according to WordOfGod.

* TroubledProduction: This was originally intended as a series of ''live'' shows done over conference call with GreenScreen, as a way to prove real live theatre (as opposed to Zoom script readings where everyone's in a tiny window at their computer) could still be done in the era of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. Sadly, it didn't work out due to numerous technical issues, and as a result the Friday night performance had to be canceled and the rest of the performances pre-recorded (though each time slot was a new and different recording).
** Creator/MeredithStepien later released a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptClDx6tgu0 video]] detailing just how troubled this production was -- the team already found out that the live GreenScreen performances wouldn't work after the tech rehearsal the night before the planned opening night on Dec. 11, and had to scramble and work through the night in order to create recorded versions of the songs to play instead, with only Creator/DylanSaunders as Scrooge and Clark Baxtresser as the Narrator performing live, only for ''that'' to fail to work because director Creator/CoreyLubowich's Internet connection gave out, forcing the performance to be canceled entirely (and forcing the next three livestreamed performances to just be a single prerecorded video).

** A mixture of DawsonCasting and UnderageCasting -- Creator/BrianRosenthal plays "Young Scrooge" and Creator/DylanSaunders plays present-day Scrooge, even though they're around the same age in RealLife (in their 30s). Young Scrooge ranges in age from his boyhood to Brian's real age of his early 30s when Belle leaves him, while present-day Scrooge is clearly meant to be an old man at least in his 60s, but thanks to this show having relatively NoBudget this is only vaguely suggested with their costumes and acting.
