A Christmas Carol
PAC NYC brings the acclaimed production of A Christmas Carol from London’s The Old Vic to New York in a uniquely intimate staging. Lighting Designer: Hugh Vanstone
Two visionary Tony Award winners – playwright Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Netflix’s Adolescence), conceiver and director Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical, God of Carnage) – offer a magical interpretation of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic. Brimming with merriment, tasty treats, and holiday cheer, this immersive production wraps the audience around the action, inviting the communal holiday spirit in us all.
On a bitter Christmas Eve, a cold-hearted miser is visited by four ghosts. Transported to worlds past, present, and future, Ebenezer Scrooge witnesses what a lifetime of fear and selfishness has led to and sees with fresh eyes the lonely life he has built for himself. Can Ebenezer be saved before it’s too late?
Winner of five Tony Awards, this beloved production welcomes theatergoers with dazzling staging, moving storytelling, and 12 cherished Christmas carols, including “Joy to the World,” “Silent Night,” and “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear.”
