London's Old Vic has found full casting for their 2025 iteration of Jack Thorne and Matthew Warchus's A Christmas Carol, set to return for its eighth holiday season November 12, 2025-January 10, 2026. Opening night will be November 25.

As previously announced, Paul Hilton (The Inheritance) will star as Ebenezer Scrooge. Newly announced to be joining him are Rob Compton as Bob Cratchit, Geraint Downing as Ferdy and George, Matthew Durkan as Fred, Lauren Jones as Little Fan, Stuart Neal as Father and Marley, Claire O’Leary as Jess, Alastair Parker as Fezziwig, Nuwan Hugh Perera as Nicholas and Schoolmaster, Parisa Shahmir as Mrs. Cratchit, Tanisha Spring as Belle, Kibong Tanji as Ghost of Christmas Present and Mrs. Fezziwig, Annie Wensak as Ghost of Christmas Past, and Connor Wood as Young Ebenezer. Olive Mac Mahon, Freddie Merritt, Hannah Slater, and Vinnie Stone will share the role of Tiny Tim, with swings Jamie Doncaster and Rachel Moran rounding out the company. Casting is by David Grindrod for Grindrod & Burton Casting. Original casting is by Jessica Ronane.

Last year's presentation of the work broke records, with 52 percent of its audiences visiting The Old Vic for the first time. The production made a Broadway bow in 2019, winning five 2020 Tony Awards and touring North America in 2021; it streamed internationally via the company's In Camera series in 2020, a recording that was brought back to 351 care homes across the U.K. for free last year. A NYC return of the production is headed to Off-Broadway's Perelman Performing Arts Center later this year.

Direcred by Warchus and written by Thorne, the holiday presentation features Tony-winning sets and costumes by Rob Howell, Tony-winning music and arrangements by Christopher Nightingale, Tony-winning lighting by Hugh Vanstone, Tony-winning sound by Simon Baker, and movement by Lizzi Gee. The 2025 edition will feature music direction by Alan Berry, with the creative team also including voice coach Charlie Hughes D'Aeth, dialect coach Danièle Lydon, associate director Jamie Manton, second associate director Chloe Christian, associate set designers Bec Chippendale and Megan Rouse, associate costume designer Lucy Gaiger, associate lighting designer Luca Panetta, associate sound designer Emma Laxton, associate movement director Helen Siveter, wigs, hair, and make-up by Campbell Young Associates, and prop supervision by Lisa Buckley.
