A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol at Roda Theatre

Why see A Christmas Carol?

Strictly Limited Run

Virtuoso performer Jefferson Mays (A Gentleman's Guide To Love and Murder) turns his talents to Dickens this holiday season as he takes on 50 roles in this ingenious retelling of Charles Dickens' Christmas classic, written by Mays, Susan Lyons, and Michael Arden, with direction by Barry Edelstein. So join Scrooge as he settles down for a sleepless Christmas Eve, where he'll be shown the error of his ways and discover the true meaning of the season.

What Is The Story?

First published in 1843, Charles Dickens' cautionary Christmas tale follows the story of miserly businessman Ebenezer Scrooge as he ignores the merriment lighting up the cold streets of Victorian London. Unflinching in his attitude that Christmas is just another day, he's in for the fright of his life as he settles down to sleep on Christmas Eve. Awoken by the ire of three spirits, Scrooge is then shown glimpses into his past, present, and future. Will he continue to eschew his fellow man, or will he change his ways? We all know the end, but it's the getting there that matters. With Mays in the driving seat, we're sure this will be one memorable evening for all involved!

Amazing

The Christmas Carol has always been one of my favorite stories growing up. I saw it tonight with my mom. Such an amazing show. Everyone did a magnificent job. Everyone must see this. It brought a tear to my eye of how well done everyone did bringing the characters to life. Costumes, music, dancing everything was on point. All ages needs to watch this. ... Read more

An old classic revived with modern twist

I am just in awe. As a theater junkie I jumped at the opportunity to go to a play and when this opened I thought , oh well, have seen it a dozen times, but it’s a play. BUT wait. A whole new interpretation. With more character development. And oh my. Timmy. A surprise you won’t want to miss. This is a MUST. No old white man in a kerchief in bed visited by ghosts. It was. Amazing!!! I want to go again!!! ... Read more
