Scrooge tickets are available now!
THIS SHOW HAS NOW CLOSED. YOU CAN NO LONGER BUY TICKETS.
The musical interpretation of the Dickensian classic A Christmas Carol, ‘Scrooge’, opened at in October 2012 at the London Palladium and will run until January 12th 2013. This Christmas treat wowed London audiences and brought a real air of holiday magic to the West End.
‘Scrooge’ is written by award-winning composer Leslie Bricusse, who whimsically turned Dickens’ festive tale into an all singing and all dancing extravaganza! The musical follows the story of Ebenezer Scrooge who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas eve, showing him his past, present and future. Set in Victorian London this lively show featured a talented cast and ensemble, with musical numbers such as ‘Thank You Very Much’, ‘I Hate People’, ‘December 25th’ and ‘I’ll Begin Again’. The musical has played all over the world, and was originally a 1970 movie musical starring Albert Finney. The song ‘Thank You Very Much’ was nominated for an Academy Award.
Producer Bill Kenwright previously mounted this production at the London Palladium back in 2005 and the show has enjoyed multiple UK and North American tours. Actors such as Shane Ritchie have brought the role of Scrooge to life, but this time stage legend Tommy Steele reprised his role in the company for the 2012/13 outing. The 75-year-old actor has starred in musicals such as ‘Half A Sixpence’, ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and ‘Some Like it Hot’ and is known as an entertainer all around the world. Having previously played the role on numerous occasions, Steele was a huge attraction to this Christmas production.

I took my husband to see scrooge for his 65th birthday on October 26th, and we loved it.Tommy Steele is amazing as Scrooge, what a great show it made me laugh and cry,a show that can do that has something special, and I would compliment the whole cast, but in particular Toomy himself, I was the first to my feet to applaud him.

I took my family to see Scrooge tonight (Monday 12th Nov). It was superb, all of the cast were very good, especially the boy that played Tiny Tim,when he sang his solo song.
It was a pleasure to see Tommy Steele,he was first class!
The whole show leaves you with a real feel good festive feeling. The scenery & special effects were very good.
I’m a London Cab Driver & I’ll be recommending Scrooge to all of my passengers over the next few weeks! -

We went to see Scrooge last night – there were 8 of us from one family, ages ranging from 6 to 54. Scrooge the Musical is traditionally dear to our hearts at Christmas time and we know the film and the songs backward. This production did not disappoint. There is no doubt that Tommy Steele makes the show as it is clear that he loves playing this part. It made us happy and jolly and sad and teary at exactly the right times. We loved it!

Was in London on christmas eve shopping with my daughter and brought tickets 20mins before show, Tommy Steele and the cast put on a first class festive and fantastic show came out feeling all christmassy and happy. Perfect end to a perfect day. Thank you very much. Saw Tommy last year in Eastbourne in Scrooge and he was just as fantastic both times. Would definitely recommend what a show.
Heather and Laura.

I have always been a Tommy Steele follower since he began his singing career and been to several of his shows over the years.
This is a super show! I saw it – with Tommy – several years ago when he was touring and came to our town.
I would recommend it to anyone for a good evening/afternoon out, families too.
Take this chance and go and see it!
