SUMMARY:
As Ebenezer Scrooge wakes up the morning before Christmas, he has no idea he is being
watched by an old friend with the help of three ghostly companions. Today will be Scrooge's final test before he gets the visit of his life and finds out the true meaning of Christmas.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE MUSICAL GHOST STORY is a brand new adaptation that adds a dark & modern touch to the well-known story. Dickens' traditional characters, exciting new songs, and some frightful ghosts make this version a fun and surprising retelling of the famous Holiday "Ghost Story!"
