About A Christmas Carol
This five-time Tony Award-winning New York Times Critic’s Pick is bringing joy off Broadway for another holiday season, from November 20 to January 3 only! Two visionary artists — playwright Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and director Matthew Warchus (Matilda) — offer a magical interpretation of Charles Dickens’ beloved story. The Hollywood Reporter raves, “It’s an enchanting spectacle designed to enrapture all ages with wonder and delight.”
This “vibrant, compassionate and timely” (Deadline) production welcomes theatregoers of all ages into an immersive experience that’s brimming with Christmas spirit. It features dazzling staging, moving storytelling and original music alongside 12 cherished Christmas carols, including “Joy to the World,” “Silent Night” and “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,” which earned composer/arranger Christopher Nightingale the Tony Award for Best Original Score. Don’t miss your chance to be part of a show that’s “so infectious, you’ll leave the theater with a heart full of joy and light” (Entertainment Weekly).

Creative, original presentation of an eternal classic.
Absolute must truly had my holidays with added joy and made me realize how I miss my family - I’ll never get to have holidays with my beloved family but this show has restored my spirit and brought back great memories of Christmas past. As a solo family I will now make seeing this show as a must go to start my own single person tradition with thoughts of my family and therefore it will become a deep personal experience for years to come to honor my family that I’ve all lost. Thank you!
It was the very first show I’ve ever seen. I’m very impressed!
