What To Know About This Production

MUSIC BY ALAN MENKEN | LYRICS BY LYNN AHRENS | BOOK BY MIKE OCKRENT & LYNN AHRENS | BASED ON THE STORY BY CHARLES DICKENS

Original choreography by Susan Stroman, originally directed by Mike Ockrent, originally presented by Radio City Entertainment at the Theater at Madison Square Garden

Sponsored by Hillside Heating & Cooling

From Broadway legends Alan Menken and Lynn Ahrens — the celebrated creative minds behind Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors, and Ragtime — comes a spectacular new musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' most beloved tale.

Ebenezer Scrooge has spent a lifetime accumulating wealth and dismissing the happiness of those around him. But on one fateful Christmas Eve, three ghostly visitors take the old miser on an unforgettable journey through his Past, Present, and Future — forcing him to confront the consequences of a life lived without compassion or generosity. What begins as a night of reckoning becomes a profound transformation, as Scrooge discovers that it is never too late to open one's heart and embrace the true spirit of Christmas.

Warm, witty, and bursting with holiday magic, A Christmas Carol is a timeless story of redemption, generosity, and the joy of second chances.

A Christmas Carol The Musical is presented through special permission from Music Theatre International.
