A Christmas Carol

Tim Minchin returns to the Sydney Theatre Company stage in a magical five-time Tony Award-winning show for the whole family. Written by superstar playwright and screenwriter Jack Thorne ( Harry Potter and the Cursed Child , Netflix’s Adolescence ) and directed with an irrepressible sense of showmanship by Matilda The Musical mastermind Matthew Warchus, this stunningly immersive festive favourite is reason to rejoice. As the gas lanterns are lit and the snow falls on a freezing Christmas night, Ebenezer Scrooge (Minchin) is called upon by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. They show him scenes from his life, and the miserly Scrooge is forced to reckon with regret and loss. But is it too late to thaw his cold heart? Celebrated by audiences across the globe, this transporting adaptation from The Old Vic sparkles with gold tinsel, “fostering an infectious spirit of good cheer that reaches giddy heights" ( The Hollywood Reporter ). Get ready to be swept into a world of Yuletide feasts as carols such as “Joy to the World” and “Silent Night” fill the Roslyn Packer Theatre. Ring the bells – a white Christmas is coming to Sydney!
