Larry Yando to Lead Cast of Goodman’s A Christmas Carol

Acclaimed Chicago actor Larry Yando will star as the curmudgeonly Ebenezer Scrooge in the Goodman Theatre’s production of A Christmas Carol, November 18-December 31. Steve Scott will helm the 34th annual production of the holiday classic.

Based on Charles Dickens’ classic novel, A Christmas Carol is the iconic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy businessman with no family and a disdain for the holidays and the poor in Victorian London. One Christmas, Scrooge is visited by four ghosts who take him on an incredible journey that offers him a new perspective on everything from his dusty past to his dark future, in an effort to help the miser rediscover life and love.
