The Old Vic production, which has garnered five Tony Awards, brings together the creative talents of Matthew Warchus, known for Matilda the Musical, as director, and Jack Thorne, of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child fame, as adaptor. Their immersive interpretation fills the theatre with seasonal music and festive atmosphere.
Arts Hub has declared “it wouldn’t be Christmas without it,” while The AU Review calls it “the must-see festive event of the year.” The production continues its tradition of serving mince pies and creating a festive environment that draws families into this timeless story of greed, love and redemption.
