Good morning, BroadwayWorld!

A Christmas Carol is hitting the road in 2021! This production of A Christmas Carol, adapted by Jack Thorne and directed by Matthew Warchus, opened on Broadway in 2019, and planned to return this year. While that was unable to happen, the production is planning a Broadway return in 2021 in addition to the tour.

Songs For A New World played at The London Palladium on Sunday 11 October - marking a return for musical theatre to the West End. Get a first look at the production in all new photos!

This Friday, Lin-Manuel Miranda and original cast members from Broadway's Hamilton will appear and perform as part of a virtual fundraiser for presidential candidate Joe Biden.
