ABOUT THE SHOW:

No holiday season is complete without a retelling of Dickens’ beloved “A Christmas Carol,” and what better way to enjoy the classic story of “good will toward men” than with this lavish, enchanting musical adaptation.

With the goose and holly of a Victorian Christmas surrounding him, miserly old Ebenezer Scrooge rejects the companionship of his fellow men and women for the sterile pleasure of gold. He is saved from this loveless life by the intercession of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, who take him on a fantastic trip through the times of his life and show him a glimpse of the tragic future that awaits him should he not mend his ways. In the end, a transformed Scrooge realizes that “mankind should be my business” and that one little boy is of greater weight than all the gold in his strongbox.

With a jaunty, melodious score, lots of dancing and a large cast which includes several children and one of the more irresistible lead roles ever, “Scrooge, The Stingiest Man In Town” is a warm-hearted holiday treat for all!
