ZACH Theatre's A Christmas Carol

About this adventure

Austin's most vibrant holiday theatrical tradition, ZACH Theatre's rock-and-soul musical adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol brings irresistible joy to The Topfer stage on Lady Bird Lake. Infused with infectious Motown, R&B, and pop anthems from Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Earth, Wind & Fire, this modern holiday spectacle reinvents Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation into an electrifying, soulful celebration. Dazzling light choreography, stunning period-meets-modern costumes, and a powerhouse live band keep audiences dancing in their seats, while preserving the heartwarming message of compassion, generosity, and redemption.
