Charles Dickens' classic gets the full Broadway treatment in Alan Menken’s-Lynn Ahrens’-Mike Okrent's adaptation of A Christmas Carol. This is the version that leaves New Yorkers and tourists alike gasping in wonder and merriment every year as the story unfolds on the stage at Madison Square Garden.

In 2004, this version became the basis of a NBC television spectacular featuring Kelsey Grammer as Scrooge, surrounded by an array of stars including Jason Alexander, Jesse L. Martin, Jane Krakowski, Geraldine Chaplin, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ruthie Henshall.

Alan Menken (Little Shop Of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime The Musical, Once On This Island) have collaborated on a score that is filled with beautiful melodies and emotional lyrics. Their song "A Place Called Home" has become a holiday standard. While the Madison Square Garden staging contains spectacular special effects and scenic elements, A Christmas Carol can be equally effective on a more intimate scale. The book by Mike Okrent and Lynn Ahrens is character-driven, and all of the featured roles are developed to give performers many chances to shine. Of course, at the center of the piece is Ebenezer Scrooge himself, taken from the pages of Dickens' immortal tale and delivered full-blown in a role suitable for your local star.

There are many adaptations of A Christmas Carol out there, but only one Broadway version! Now this holiday treat can delight our audiences as it has annually in New York City for so many years. Opened 11/22/1994; Ran annually for 10 years.
