“Bah! Humbug, this holiday!” The greedy and cruel moneylender Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas. Not even the festival of love can awaken compassion within him for his nephew or his employees. But then a spirit appears to him! It is his deceased business partner Jacob Marley. And he announces that Scrooge will be visited by three more spirits. If the moneylender does not heed their advice, he can expect the same dreadful fate in the afterlife as Marley. Thus, the miser is visited at night by the spirit of Christmas past, present, and future, which shows him his mistakes and their tragic consequences. Finally, the old man comes to his senses; he reconciles with his nephew and the employees. Scrooge becomes a Christmas fan!

The enchanting musical for the whole family premiered in 1994 at the Paramount Theatre in New York. Its composer Alan Menken also created the songs for musical blockbusters “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” and “Pocahontas.” In 2016, “A Christmas Carol” had its European premiere in London. In Pforzheim, it will be experienced for the first time in the German language.
