A Christmas Carol
Playhouse, QPAC
Updated: Dec 24, 2025
THIS EVENT IS NOW IN THE PAST. FOR MORE GREAT THINGS TO DO AND SEE IN AND AROUND BRISBANE, PLEASE HEAD TO OUR WHAT'S ON PAGE.A Christmas Carol, a magical, grand-in-scale production brimful of song, humour, love, and lashings of festive joy, is returning to QPAC's iconic Playhouse from December 12-24.
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).
