TheatreworksUSA’s musical interpretation of the Charles Dickens classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL captures both the humorous and touching moments of this story with witty dialogue and fresh new songs, conveying Dickens’ original message that the holiday season should be a “kind, forgiving, charitable time,” a sentiment which still rings true today. Appropriate for Grades 1-8.
