Just in time for the holidays, 42nd Street Moon presents the return of everyone's favorite Yuletide sourpuss in the World Premiere of SCROOGE IN LOVE!, a fun, high-spirited follow-up to A Christmas Carol. Starring Broadway's Jason Graae (last seen at 42nd Street Moon in Little Me) in the title role, SCROOGE IN LOVE! follows Ebenezer Scrooge one year after his life changed for the better, although he still feels something is missing. Directed by Dyan McBride, SCROOGE IN LOVE! will run November 25-December 13, 2015 (Press opening: Saturday, November 28) at the Eureka Theatre, 215 Jackson Street, San Francisco. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast below!

Tucked in bed after an evening of holiday festivities, Scrooge receives an unexpected visit from his former partner Jacob Marley, the first of four ghostly callers. Though Scrooge fears he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life, his spectral visitors convince him otherwise with an eye-opening journey through time. New ghosts and old pal Jacob Marley arrive to help him find his lost love, Belle. With music by Snoopy!!! and Minnie's Boys composer Larry Grossman and lyrics from Murder for Two's Kellen Blair, the score includes new songs like "Happier," "The Hours in Between," "Do It Now," "I Love Love," and "Just One Year." Featuring winking humor and joyful original songs, SCROOGE IN LOVE! is a Christmastime romance full of fresh delights and timeless holiday cheer.
