Scrooge (Nov 2003)
His Majesty's Theatre
Scrooge the musical is a sure-fire early festive treat for the entire family! This fabulous show, with book, music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, retells Charles Dickens' classic story in spectacular fashion.
The miserly skinflint, Ebenezer Scrooge, considers Christmas to be 'humbug' until he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and three further spirits - The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and the terrifying Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come. In turn, these spirits show Scrooge the error of his ways and we are eventually brought to a happy ending which is both moving and uplifting.
“...Scrooge is vintage Phoenix, featuring an excellent, hardworking cast of chorus, principals and children, splendid Dickensian costumes and an outstanding orchestra under MD Kevin Haggart...”
