A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is being presented at London's Lyceum Theatre on Monday 19th December at 7.30pm featuring a star studded West End cast accompanied by the London Musical
Theatre Orchestra
NOTE: the event was originally to be performed the Lyric Theatre but
in order to present this concert production to its fullest orchestral
capacity a creative decision was taken to move to the larger stage of
the Lyceum. Anyone who has purchased tickets for the Lyric will be
contacted by their point of purchase within the next week with details
of their re-allocated seats at the Lyceum
The London premiere of this Christmas classic gets the full Broadway treatment by the
Broadway team of Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid),
Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Seussical) and Mike Ockrent (Crazy For You, Me and
My Girl).
Called by The New York Times "a tonic for adults, and for
children a transfixing journey," this spectacular musical extravaganza
ran for ten years at New York's Madison Square Garden.
