The West End run of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is only a few short weeks away, and Playbill has an early look at the festivities.

The latest from The Play That Goes Wrong comedy theatre group Mischief Theatre, performances will begin at London's Apollo Theatre December 6, with the limited run continuing through January 25, 2026. Opening night is December 14.

The brand new comedy brings the chaos and humour of The Cornley Amateur Drama Society to the work of Charles Dickens via original members and writers of the Mischief team Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields.

Turning the Christmas classic into chaos will be Matt Cavendish as Max, Daniel Fraser as Chris, Sasha Frost as Sandra, Chris Leask as Trevor, Henry Lewis as Robert, Jonathan Sayer as Dennis, Greg Tannahill as Jonathan, and Nancy Zamit and Dumile Sibanda sharing the role of Annie. The understudies will be Alex Bird, Will Bishop, Siobhan Cha Cha, Colm Gleeson and Ashley Tucker

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is produced by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence. The production marks the return of director Matt DiCarlo, following his West End directorial debut with The Comedy About Spies.

Prior to the West End engagement, the show is touring the U.K., playing Salford, Cardiff, and Bath. Following the West End engagement, the production will go back out on tour through the end of the winter season, playing Nottingham, Aylesbury, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Canterbury.
