Actors on stage at A Christmas Carol, QPAC

It's Christmas Eve and Ebenezer Scrooge is counting down the seconds until the silliness of the season passes. Deeply entrenched in his own misery, Scrooge receives a visit from four ghosts who whisk him away on a journey through Christmases past, present and future. Here, he revisits fragments of his life and is faced with a number of choices.

Redemption is his for the taking – but is Old Scrooge capable of changing his ways before it's too late?

Complete with live music, yule-tide carolling, innovative video design, lavish costumes and, of course, snow, A Christmas Carol, is quite simply "the most uplifting theatrical experience you'll have this year.” (The Courier-Mail).
