Synopsis

This theatrical and spirited version of A Christmas Carol puts the phantasmagoric qualities of Charles Dickens’ classic tale center stage.

A swirling, dancing chorus of ghosts weave through this uplifting holiday story of redemption, magic and hope.

The play has been performed for almost a million people over the years at Houston’s Alley Theatre, Hartford Stage and the historic Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C.

Press Reviews

"If Alfred Hitchcock had done A Christmas Carol, he’d have done it exactly like this. Wilson’s high-spirited and intelligent handling of the 1843 novella is scary, delightful, dazzling, and laugh-out-loud funny."
— Hartford Advocate

"Michael Wilson’s adaptation of Dicken’s classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge distills the essence of the holiday spirit in a series of sights, sounds and splendors that all but guarantee audiences leave bursting with a feeling of Christmas."
— Hartford Courant
