A Christmas Carol at Rodey Theatre

This version of A Christmas Carol is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens' most well known story. It has music by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Newsies and Enchanted (to name a few) and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Once on this Island, Seussical, A Man of No Importance, Anastasia, etc.) Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comforts of others. With an infuriated “Bah! Humbug!” Scrooge summarizes his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he is forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present and Future. As a result of these revelations, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful “Happy Christmas” and spends his Christmas with those that mean the most to him.

This adaptation is a joyous, spiritually renewing holiday show for the entire family.
