About the Show

For the eleventh year in a row, Be Bold! Productions brings back its family-friendly musicalization of Charles Dickens' iconic Christmas tale.

Join Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited by four spirits: his late business partner Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. What happens when he gets a glimpse of how his life will turn out if he doesn't change his miserly ways? This kid-friendly adaptation is best for ages 6 and up.

Delightful, Enchanting, Refreshing, Quirky, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy the story. This is a worthy production that’s fun for the family. The sets, music, costumes, performances put a smile on my face.

Don't see it if you’re looking for a highly produced adaptation. This is small scale, and with a tremendous amount of heart.

Great staging, Funny, Entertaining, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if You want to see a Christmas Carol reimagined. It was the classic one but with more humor. Scrooge was awesome

Don't see it if You prefer the classics

Critic Reviews (2)

For a previous production

"As welcoming as this production is, it is not for those under 6 or 7. While the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Present are ebullient, and Marley borders on silly, the Ghost of Christmas Future completely captures Dickens’ vision. Faceless, swathed in black and gliding eerily, it made even the second and third graders near me cringe. And why not? Without menace, the story loses its full moral impact."

For a previous production

"Charles Dickens’ classic novella is being given a delightful and boisterous musical adaptation, presented by Be Bold! Productions and the Players Theatre. Children and adults will be greatly entertained by this brisk production that captures the spirit of the story with much comedy, drama, and unique musical accompaniment...Bell has made it fresh for those familiar with the story, and a great introduction for those who might be experiencing it for the first time."
