In 1860, the stingy and cranky Ebenezer Scrooge that hates Christmas, loathes people and defends the decrease of the surplus of poor population, runs his bank exploiting his employee Bob Cratchit and clients, giving a bitter treatment to his own nephew and acquaintances. However, on Christmas Eve, he is visited by the doomed ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley that tells him that three spirits would visit him that night. The first one, the ghost of Christmas past, recalls his miserable youth when he lost his only love due to his greed; the ghost of Christmas present shows him the poor situation of Bob's family and how joyful life may be; and the ghost of Christmas yet-to-come, shows his fate. This is a delightful musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol. Folks might not have had much to sing about in England in 1860, but this musical will make you believe otherwise.
