The limited Broadway run of A Christmas Carol by Tony-winning Harry Potter and the Cursed Child playwright Jack Thorne wraps up performances January 5. Directed by Matthew Warchus, and featuring 12 Christmas carols, the new version of Charles Dickens’ well-known classic opened November 20, 2019, and went on to break box office records at the Lyceum Theatre for three consecutive weeks during the holiday period.
A Christmas Carol, which began November 7, stars Campbell Scott (House of Cards, Dying Young) as Ebenezer Scrooge. Scott is joined by two-time Tony winner Andrea Martin (Noises Off, Pippin) as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Tony winner LaChanze (The Color Purple, Summer) as the Ghost of Christmas Present/Mrs. Fezziwig, Erica Dorfler (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) as Mrs. Cratchit, and Dashiell Eaves (A Time to Kill, A Behanding in Spokane) as Bob Cratchit.
