Perhaps the best loved holiday story of all time, our adaptation of Dickens’ classic is particularly suited to children ages 5-10, and features a magnificent score by Jule Styne,the composer of Broadway’s immortal Peter Pan, Gypsy and Funny Girl.
Based upon the famous classic by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol is a heartwarming story of the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge from a greedy, heartless miser to a generous, loving man. When the play opens, Scrooge is in his counting house in London. He is a “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner!” Three ghostly visits – from the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future – leave an indelible impression on Ebenezer. Filled with love and the true spirit of the Christmas season, he begins to change his selfish ways and open his heart to those around him. Delight in this classic tale of Ebenezer, the ghosts, Bob Cratchet, and Tiny Tim. Theatre IV brings them all to life on stage in this lively and heartwarming musical performance.
