SYNOPSIS: For the 10th year, Austin’s most rockin’ holiday tradition returns to make merry with new music and surprises to get the party started. ZACH’s inspired adaptation of the Dickens’ classic is a musical sleigh ride, infusing the traditional Victorian story with a score that spans all genres and eras. This family-friendly spectacular creates an infectious spirit that has everyone dancing in the aisles and waving their glowsticks. Celebrate the season with the loving Cratchit family and three soulful ghosts as they take Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey to rediscover his heart and ignite a love for mankind.
Fred: Fred is upbeat and optimistic, revels in family and Christmas, and knows that service to others is the best way to happiness. They celebrate each day, and while not materially rich, they are wealthy in their heart.
Apprentice Scrooge / Ensemble: Ebenezer Scrooge as a young adult is serious at work, driven with a purpose to never be in debt. He can relax and enjoy life with encouragement from Mr. Fezziwig and his daughter Belle, who offers the promise of a life very different from how he grew up.
Ensemble: We are looking for multiple ensemble roles to fill various characters throughout the story which includes but is not limited to Toy Salesman, Party Guest, Shopkeeper Stiltz, Ghost Dancers, Fezziwig party Dancers, Etc.
