Show Synopsis
As Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, he embarks on a powerful journey of redemption that will warm even the coldest of hearts. This swift adaptation of the Christmas classic remains true to the original story by incorporating portions of Dickens’ novella not usually seen on the stage or screen. Infused with a myriad of popular Christmas carols and a subtle twist of contemporary humour, the morality tale of Ebenezer Scrooge is once again alive with holiday spirit.
