The Growing Stage, The Children's Theatre of New Jersey, located in the Historic Palace Theatre on Route 183 in Netcong, New Jersey is proud to present the holiday classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MUSICAL now through December 20th. Click below to watch highlights from the show!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MUSICAL is based on the story byCharles Dickens with music by Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid), lyrics by Lynn Ahrens (Seussical) and book byMike Ockrent and Lynn Ahrens. A CHRISTMAS CAROL the Musical is under the direction of Stephen L. Fredericks, The Growing Stage's Executive Director with choreography byJillian Petrie and musical direction by Melinda Bass O'Neill.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MUSICAL tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a prosperous curmudgeon who believes personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he's forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas" before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him. A CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MUSICAL is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens's most well-known story.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MUSICAL features the talents of five professional equity performers in the cast. John Patrick Cleary of High Bridge, last seen in the world premiere production of And Then Came Tango, plays Scrooge; Danny Campos of Kearny and Lori B. Lawrence of Hackettstown, last seen in The Story of the Nutcracker, plays Mr. and Mrs. Fezziwig respectfully; Nikole Rizzo of Highlands, who also appeared in And Then Came Tango, plays Mrs. Cratchit; and Cara Ganski of Woodbridge, last seen in Disney's The Little Mermaid, plays the Ghost of Christmas Past.
