Directed by Shaun Kerrison, the production will feature the London Musical Theatre Orchestra led by musical director Freddie Tapner. The creative team also includes sound designer Nick Lidster for Autograph, designer Dora Schweitzer, lighting designer Mike Robertson, and projection designer George Reeve, with musical staging by Tim Jackson. Casting is by Jim Arnold.

Performances are currently scheduled to run through January 2, 2021. COVID-era safety measures, including regular testing for the cast and crew and social distancing, will be in place throughout the venue, with ticket holders allowed to exchange their tickets free of charge up to 24 hours before their performance if they become unable to attend.

The musical premiered in 1994 at the Paramount Theatre in Manhattan, quickly becoming a seasonal favorite at Madison Square Garden and later on in London at the Lyceum Theatre.

A Christmas Carol is produced by Tapner for LMTO and Gary England.
