Return to Victorian era London once more and join Ebenezer Scrooge on a magical journey through time in the heartwarming, original adaptation of the beloved Charles Dickens’ classic, A CHRISTMAS CAROL. First produced by Charleston Stage in 1978, this production has secured its status as a staple holiday tradition in the Lowcountry. With a score of classic carols and a professional cast playing upwards of 50 iconic characters, this enchanting musical brings to life the Christmas spirit in even the grumpiest Scrooge. Don’t miss out on the magic—secure your tickets early, as last year’s performances of this holiday hit sold out!
