Don't say 'humbug' to this!

The story that came to define festivity as we know it, A Christmas Carol returns to Birmingham in this sparkling production from BMOS, Birmingham's award-winning Musical Theatre Company! Guaranteed to warm the cockles, they'll treat audiences to the beloved Dickensian tale just in time for Christmas, weaving together songs by iconic Disney composer Alan Menken, and lyrics by Ragtime writer Lynn Ahrens, with direction by British theatre-maker Mike Ockrent.

What is it about?

Running for a decade on Broadway, the show-stopping production fuses memorable songs with the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy but thoroughly disagreeable miser, who spreads displeasure wherever he roams. Set one fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge declines an invitation to dinner with his polar opposite nephew Fred, choosing to ignore the delight and warmth of the Yuletide season with an early bedtime. When the ghost of his old business partner Jacob Marley appears to him with foreboding news of three more unearthly visitations, Scrooge must weigh his earthly actions and face the consequences of his greed and selfishness.
