SCROOGE THE MUSICAL Opens 12/6 at Boiler Room Theatre

The Boiler Room Theatre (BRT), Williamson County's original and longest-running professional theatre company, is excited to announce that it will stage Leslie Brisscue's Scrooge the Musical featuring a classic score and everyone's favorite holiday skinflint. This charming musical will have audiences singing each night as they leave the theatre. This production will run from December 6th until December 22nd with shows on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays.

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of those timeless stories that has been told and retold in many different ways. Scrooge! The Musical is a stage musical with book, music, and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse. Its score and book are closely adapted from the music and screenplay of the 1970 musical film "Scrooge" starring Albert Finney. Bricusse was nominated for the Academy Award for the song score he wrote for the film, and most of those songs were carried over to the musical. Some favorites include, "Happiness," "Love While You Can," " The Minister's Cat," and "Thank You Very Much".

Director Sondra Morton said, "This show has the expected elements of sweetness, it also has a reality and a strong message. Naturally, it has something for the whole family." This is a delightful musical adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel. This timeless heart-warming tale once again returns for the holidays, only this time it is set to music.

Scrooge the Musical is Directed by Sondra Morton, with Co-Direction by Jayme Smith and Musical Direction by Jamey Green. Choreography by Lauri Gregoire and Set design is by Corbin Green and Costume Design is by Katie Delaney and Assistant Stage Management by Virginia Lodholz. The company of 21 actors, who will play the musical's 40 roles, includes many of Middle Tennessee's finest talent.
