Scrooge at the Palace Theatre until 12th January

After his success in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Shane Ritchie returns to the Palace Theatre as Ebenezer Scrooge.

A Christmas Carol is one of the best-loved Christmas classics of all time. Leslie Bricusse's adaptation of Dickens' classic retells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future and learns the true meaning of Christmas.

As Scrooge, Ritchie makes a welcome return to the world of musical theatre after his roles in Grease and Boogie Nights. The show is given extra sparkle through illusions created by Paul Kieve, the special effects 'magician' behind Harry Potter, as well as a stunning score and spectacular costumes and set.

Critics have described the production as "a smash hit, timeless, feel-good show" and  tickets are expected to sell out over the festive season - get yours now!
