About this adventure

Presented in the Alley Theatre's intimate Hubbard Theatre, Rob Melrose's critically acclaimed adaptation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol brings the beloved Victorian redemption tale to life with theatrical magic and genuine emotional depth. Audiences journey alongside the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Featuring nineteenth-century London period costumes, enchanting puppetry, inventive staging, and live traditional carols, this Tony Award-winning regional theatre production captures Dickens's original wit and enduring message of compassion and generosity. Children must be at least six years old to attend.
