A FAIRYTALE CHRISTMAS CAROL: THE MUSICAL

Young Performers Project presents A Fairytale Christmas Carol: The Musical in the Playhouse Opera from December 5 to 21, 2025.

There will be a Relaxed Performance on December 5 at 14h30.

Charles Dickens timeless story about life’s second chances, A Christmas Carol, has been given a joyful new adaptation as A Fairytale Christmas Carol, the Musical.

This family show is full of holiday spirit! All your favourite fairytale characters take on new roles to retell this brilliant adaptation of A Christmas Carol that is surprisingly true to the original yet unlike anything you have ever seen before. 

You will never know who will show up next when the Big Bad Wolf as Ebenezer Scrooge meets the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Midas (Marley) who could turn anything to gold. Midas warns Big Bad that we will be visited by three ghosts: Christmas past, present and future (played by a fairy Godmother, Old King Cole and the Queen of Hearts respectively). The ghosts make Scrooge realise what a scoundrel he has been. 

Presented by The Young Performers Project, The Playhouse Company and Pioneer.
