With a fifteen-piece live orchestra and a cast of 38, Playful Theatre tells the classic Dickens tale with humor, wit and music as visitations by four ghosts help Ebenezer Scrooge discover his humanity. This uplifting version is a holiday favorite at Madison Square Garden and boasts the music of famed Broadway maestro Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Little Shop of Horrors) and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.
