SHOW SYNOPSIS

A Christmas Carol, The Musical is a heartwarming adaptation of Charles Dickens' beloved 1843 novella. It tells the timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold-hearted and miserly businessman who values wealth above all else. With little regard for friendship, compassion, or the well-being of others—including his loyal employee Bob Cratchit and Cratchit’s struggling family—Scrooge’s bitterness reaches its peak during the festive season.

​

But everything changes one fateful Christmas Eve. Visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Scrooge is warned to change his ways or face a grim fate. He is then guided on a life-altering journey by three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Future.

 

Over the course of a single night, Scrooge confronts the impact of his choices and is given a chance at redemption. As Christmas morning dawns, a transformed Scrooge greets the world with joy, generosity, and a heartfelt “Happy Christmas,” finally embracing the true spirit of the season.
