About

The Walnut Street Theatre production Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is a Philadelphia tradition!  The holiday magic begins when a troupe of actors appear at the historic Walnut Street Theatre to set up and perform the heartwarming tale of Ebenezer Scrooge. We all know this grumpy old miser's response to holiday cheer is "Bah, Humbug." Scrooge is a bitter old man who can no longer feel joy or affection, even for his family. But on one remarkable Christmas Eve, he is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. With their help, can Scrooge change his ways? You and your favorite kids are in for a treat with a special hour-long adaptation which uses original and traditional songs to highlight Dickens' powerful story. Deck the halls as our holiday spirits travel beyond the footlights, right into your very own heart.

    Show was terrific. Arrived early. Would have been nice if the cafe opened earlier. We had no choice to be outside in the cold weather

  • Bring back the bare-bones version of the show

    Too theatrical this time. Mr. Lovell was THE most-convincing Mr. Scrooge many Christmases past.

    The family went to see the show with young children. It was the appropriate amount of time for the show and all enjoyed it.

    This show was short (approx. 1 hr) but packed with fun. My hubby and I enjoyed every minute of it.

  • The perfect Christmas show

    I took my mother and two daughters and we loved it! The production was simple but beautifully executed and the language was largely taken directly from the original story. Perfect for adults and children alike.

    Loved showing our visitors from Argentina and Namibia this historic theater. The play was well done. Surprised by the beauty of the children’s singing voices and acting skills. Scrooge was perfect.
