Pittsburgh CLO has announced that the public will be able to enjoy the magic of A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL for the 29th consecutive year! Recorded live at Pittsburgh's Byham Theater in 2018, this special production will be broadcast on WQED as a holiday gift to the community, so that families can once again experience this cherished tradition together. Starring Broadway and Television's Richard Thomas in the iconic role of Ebenezer Scrooge and a cast of Pittsburgh's favorite performers, A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL will have four separate airings: December 10 at 7:30pm; December 18 at 9pm; Christmas Eve - December 24 at 9pm and December 27 at 1pm.
"We are so happy to be able to share this show starring the one and only Richard Thomas and terrific cast of local actors known and loved in our community," said Van Kaplan, CEO. "Despite our inability to produce this show live this year due to current health guidelines, with the help of our friends at WQED, we found a way to bring it to life. Each year this beloved Pittsburgh tradition reaches more than 25,000 audience members, including more than 7,000 school students. It is a theatrical experience special to so many, and a season without it seemed unfathomable, especially when we need it most. So, let's toast each other in this new way by tuning in for this uplifting story." "The holiday season would not be the same without the Pittsburgh CLO's A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS CAROL," said Deborah L. Acklin, President and CEO of WQED. "It's especially important that after a very difficult year for everybody, we can all spend some time with loved ones to watch this enchanting production. WQED is pleased to partner with Pittsburgh CLO to be able to offer this production to our audiences."IMPORTANT INFORMATION
