The Public Theater Announces Cast and Creative Team for A CHRISTMAS CAROL The Musical

A Christmas Carol The Musical is back by popular demand at The Public Theater of San Antonio, the longest running theatre company in Texas.

This festive, yet haunting production includes music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, a book by Lynn Ahrens and Mike Ockrent. The musical runs November 25 through December 18, 2022 in the historic Russell Hill Rogers Theater, located at San Pedro Playhouse in San Pedro Springs Park. The creative team is led by Director Tim Hedgepeth, with music direction by Jaime Ramirez, and choreography by Eric B. Mota.

This ghostly story centers on Ebenezer Scrooge, a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. He is forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts arrive on Christmas Eve to lead him through his Past, Present, and Future. The musical returns as a community favorite from seasons past!

Broadway World calls this adaptation of A Christmas Carol "an enchanting embodiment of the spirit of the holidays. " Director Tim Hedgepeth adds, "I have directed other adaptations of A Christmas Carol, but it is such a treat to return to Dickens' classic with this marvelous musical version. All of the story's beloved characters and memorable lessons jump to life in a spectacular collection of songs and dances, inspiring us to trust the possibilities of kindness and redemption."
