About the Production:
For the entire family. Staged in 1843. Enter the world of the supernatural when the ghost of Jacob Marley visits his old business partner Ebenezer Scrooge. Marley has been sent to warn Scrooge that he must change his miserly ways or suffer throughout eternity. When Scrooge refuses to believe Marley is real, Marley sends three ghosts to show Scrooge “the mistakes he has made, is making, and will make." Two outrageously bold, comedic ghosts enter Scrooge's house during the night and take him on a mystical and transformational journey. But it is the third ghost who shows Scrooge a bleak future, all leading to a horrendous afterlife.
This is the 14th production of Sandra Nordgren's adaptation produced in New York City. The play has also been performed in Paris and Lyon France, Switzerland, Belgium, Puerto Rico, and in numerous cities across America.
“There are only two versions of A Christmas Carol that are a must-see:
the production at Madison Square Garden and Sandra Nordgren’s adaptation!”
