A critically acclaimed,
delightfully reimagined take on Dickens’ enduring classic, A Christmas Carol, presented by the Dallas Theater Center, is a
must-see. The Dallas Morning News proclaimed this transcendent, all-ages
musical treat “socially conscious… and theatrically spectacular.” As Scrooge
returns to the Wyly Theatre, the audience will be surrounded by magical ghosts
flying above, scary ghosts bursting out of the floor and snow falling on
everyone, bringing this timeless story to vivid new life.
