A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at John W. Engeman Theater

Why see A Christmas Carol?

The Musical Adaptation of Dickens' Classic!

Charles Dickens' beloved Christmas classic comes to life in a musical production at the Engeman Theater! Already a staple of the festive calendar, Alan Menken and Lynn Ahrens' musical adaptation became an annual tradition at Madison Square Garden between 1993 and 2004, and again in London from 2016-2020. Now, join the notoriously cold-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge once again on a life-changing Christmas Eve! As three mysterious spirits pay him a visit, they aim to open his eyes to the consequences of his greed and guide him toward redemption.

What's the Story?

First published in 1843, Dickens' timeless tale helped shape our modern understanding of Christmas as a season of goodwill. On Christmas Eve the miserable businessman Scrooge is confronted by the ghost of his dead business partner, who warns him of the grim fate that awaits if he doesn't change his nasty ways. Brushing off the warning, Scrooge soon finds himself face-to-face with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, each revealing haunting visions of his life and the impact of his actions. Can Scrooge find redemption before it's too late?
