Recently Updated
"Scrooge" is a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel "A Christmas Carol". The story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy but miserly and unkind businessman who despises Christmas and all its festivities. On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of the consequences of his selfishness and greed. He is then visited by three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. These spirits take Scrooge on a journey through time, showing him the mistakes of his past and the bleak future that awaits him if he doesn't change his ways.
Through the course of the night, Scrooge is transformed, and he realizes the true meaning of Christmas and the value of kindness, generosity, and love. He wakes up on Christmas morning with a newfound joy and appreciation for life, and he sets out to make amends for his past behavior and help those in need.
"Scrooge" features a score by Leslie Bricusse, including classic songs such as "Thank You Very Much" and "I Like Life". The musical has been adapted for the stage multiple times since its premiere in 1970, and it remains a beloved Christmas classic.
