‘You’d have to be a real Scrooge to not be won over by this Christmas Carol’ The Age

Australian producer Torben Brookman for GWB Entertainment:

We are thrilled that the multi-award winning A Christmas Carol will be returning to Melbourne for a third year this Christmas season, and welook forward to sharing our exciting cast for 2024 very soon.

The production is an incredible celebration of community, family and connectedness and we are delighted that Melbourne audiences of all ages have embraced the tradition of attending A Christmas Carol to welcome the Christmas season and connect with their loved ones.

Filling the Comedy Theatre to the brim with mince pies, music and merriment, there’s no better way for families to get into the holiday spirit than immersing themselves in this classic story of greed, love and redemption.
