Get all the holiday feels at ZACH Theatre‘s most popular show! You can see this lively, fresh take on A Christmas Carol from November 16 – December 31, 2022 inside ZACH’s Topfer Theatre.
This family-friendly upbeat version of Charles Dickens classic is anything but traditional! You surely already know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. Besides reading Charles Dicken’s holiday classic, you have probably seen this tale presented in various forms — from the Muppets’ version to Bill Murray’s or even Donald Duck’s. But if you haven’t seen ZACH Theatre’s version, you’re in for such a surprising treat. This production is a creative, upbeat, musical version that keeps you dancing in your seat throughout the entire show. The beautiful Victorian set and costumes are combined with fun, modern music, awesome dance numbers and amazing vocals from the soulful ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
We are 100% honest when we tell you that this is one of our favorite holiday events! Our staff goes to see this every year, and we simply loves how this theatrical experience leaves us feeling all the JOY of the holidays. In a time when the shopping, planning, and stress of getting everything done on our massive “to do” lists has us feeling slightly “bah, humbug”, this show brings us a few hours of Christmas spirit that lasts throughout the season.
Take note that the show is family-friendly; recommended for ages 6 and up. The run time is 2 hours and 20 minutes including one 20-minute intermission.
The musical numbers make this production so unique. The song list is comprised of many pop tunes that you know from the radio. Seeing the characters dressed in their Victorian costumes and belting out modern songs is so fun! (The songs are actually not listed in the program to add to the element of surprise and entertainment throughout the show.)
Schedule & Tickets: The production runs from November 16 – December 31, 2022 with shows at 7:30 p.m. as well as weekend matinees at 2:30 p.m. Note that an ASL Interpreted, Audio Described, and Open Captioned performance will take place on Saturday, December 3.
