A Christmas Carol
To wrap up the year, the Memorial Opera House offers a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens's most well known story. The story of Ebeneezer Scrooge and his ghostly encounters come to life in this lavish and thrilling musical. With an infuriated "Bah! Humbug!" Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he's forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present, & Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful "Happy Christmas" before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.
