A Christmas Carol
Audiences follow Ebenezer Scrooge as he journeys through Christmas past, present, and future following visits from three spirits. This lively musical adaptation combines Charles Dickens' classic story with contemporary pop music and high-energy staging. The production also features atmospheric haze, fog, and mild flashing lights, with audience members using flashing glow sticks during select numbers.

- Leave children under three at home, as they aren't admitted, and keep in mind the show is recommended for ages six and up.
