In this musical interpretation of the classic, we first meet the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve, as he is complaining about having to give his clerk, Bob Cratchit, the next day’s holiday off. Maintaining that Christmas is merely “humbug,” Scrooge refuses to contribute to the local charity’s fund for the poor. He even refuses the invitation of his nephew, Fred, to join his family for a holiday celebration. It is only later that night when he is visited by a succession of spirits—the ghost of his deceased partner, Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come—that Ebenezer considers the consequences of his past and present actions and reconsiders his outlook on life.
Produced by Theatreworks USA, this children’s play is a perfect way to spend the holidays with your family and friends.
This show is available for the family subscription.
