Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol”

Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre, 219 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02116

December 6th - December 23rd
Step into the magic of Victorian England and rediscover the heart and soul of the holiday season! Commonwealth Shakespeare Company returns for another magical season at Boston’s historic Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre with its stunning production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”—a timeless story of redemption, generosity, and the power of human kindness. Beloved Boston actor Will Lyman (CSC’s King Lear) stars as Ebenezer Scrooge, the curmudgeonly miser whose cold heart is thawed by a trio of mysterious spirits on one fateful Christmas Eve.
This enchanting adaptation by award-winning writer/director Steve Wargo brings Dickens’ classic to vivid life. Described as “a musical feast” (The Boston Globe), it is brimming with traditional 19th-century carols arranged by Dianne Adams McDowell (A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder, Starmites). With direction by CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler and musical direction by Dan Rodriguez, this “heart-filled new tradition” (WGBH) is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

Make Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” part of your holiday tradition—and experience the story that continues to warm hearts, year after year.

Foundational support for Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” is generously provided by Christy and Jay Cashman and the Poduska Family Foundation.
