A Christmas Carol

Jack Thorne’s magical imagining of A Christmas Carol has become a regular annual fixture at The Old Vic, and year after year audiences have not ceased to be bowled over by this major feel-good production. 

The show’s unique ‘in-the-round’ staging brings the audience and cast closer together as the play progresses with music, dance, mince pies and a seriously heart-warming finale that will have you leaving the theatre feeling seriously Christmassy.

Each year the production brings on a big-name actor to play the lead role of Scrooge.

Always a festive favourite, we recommend getting your tickets booked pronto - this is a show that is always guaranteed to be a sell-out.
