About this adventure
A Chicago holiday theatrical touchstone for 49 years, Goodman Theatre's production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol has enchanted more than two million theatergoers. Staged in the elegant Albert Theatre in the heart of the Loop Theater District, the lavish production features high-flying ghosts, dazzling magical effects, authentic Victorian costuming, a lively musical score, and beloved characters including Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim. The heartwarming message of redemption, kindness, and community generosity resonates deeply with audience members of all generations. Goodman Theatre offers accessible programming throughout the run, including audio-described, ASL-interpreted, Spanish-subtitled, and sensory-friendly performances where house lights remain partially illuminated and sudden loud noises are softened. Note that children must be at least 5 years old to attend.
