A Christmas Carol is coming to the Joeseph Rowntree Theatre, with music composed by Alan Menken, who is best known for his work on Disney Musicals such as the little mermaid and Aladdin.

The musical, which is based on the classic Charles Dickens novella of the same name, is set to appear in the theatre between the 28th of November and the 2nd of December.  

Lyrics are by Lynn Ahrens with book by Mike Ockrent and Ahrens.

It first premiered in New York in 1994 and has had concert productions in London – the most recent in 2020, which starred Brian Conley, Matt Willis and Lucie Jones.

Tickets are available on the Joeseph Rowntree Website.
