 A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Music by Michel Legrand, book and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick; First
presented 30 October, 1981.
The Academy Award-winning composer Michel Legrand has teamed with Sheldon Harnick, one of the theatre's most celebrated Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning librettists, and the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge's prophetic Christmas Eve is reborn. From the pages of Dickens comes this scintillating musical adaptation of the Yuletide classic that continues to touch hearts and minds the world over. This universal story is ultimately one of family and conscience, of desperation and regret and second chances. Give your audience the holiday gift of embracing its warmth and wisdom as never before, carried on the wings of a soaring theatrical score.
Charles Dickens' immortal tale of big hearts and
small minds, family loyalty, remorse and second chances, has often
been told, but perhaps never so touchingly as in this collaboration
of the world-renowned Academy Award-winning composer with one of
the theatre's most celebrated Tony Award and Pulitzer-prize-winning
librettists, who together illuminate the classic story with their
own individual talents for the theatre. Songs include "Spirit Of
Christmas", "My Two Feet Polka", "One Family" and "Let There Be
Time".
