This musical is a traditional retelling of the Dickens classic, centering on one night in the life of Ebenezer Scrooge... Christmas Eve. We see that Christmas for Scrooge is all ’Bah and Humbug.’ That night three spirits haunt his dreams, showing him what he once was as a boy, joyful and happy, the miserly man he is now, and what his future fate could be. After his confrontation with the spirits, he awakens a new man. Scrooge buys the biggest goose available for the Cratchit family, gives generously to the poor, and helps save Tiny Tim. After his night’s experience, Scrooge is glad to be alive, and he sings that message of redemption to the world.
