What the Dickens!?

You may know the story, but you’ve never seen it like this!  Join the fun as the classic story is reimagined with all the hilarious and beloved antics of an old-fashioned panto: villains, heroes, a dame, incredible music, lively dancing, audience participation, and of course, a dash of theatrical magic. 

When the curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, he embarks on a life-changing adventure to learn the error of his ways, restore his spirit, and embrace the season. 

Just like past hits Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan, this fractured panto adaptation of one of the greatest tales ever told is a must-see holiday spectacular packed with family fun.

Bah humbug!

Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Running Time: 1 hour and 56 minutes, including a 20 minute intermission

Loved it. It was not at all what I was expecting, but it was a pleasant surprise. It was hilarious and engaging. I laughed so much. The music was great and the acting was amazing. I would recommend this show to anyone who is looking to have a good time. I already want to see it again.
