Fantastic cast, extremely Christmassy and I left with a huge smile on my face. Not too scary for children but they do need to be the right age to understand Dickens. I heard a few parents having to explain stuff in the interval so it’s something to think about.

Lovely show. The first act was a little slow but the second was great fun, which is the story. Lots of special effects and props. It really lifted my spirits and reminded me what Christmas is all about.

A fantastic, fresh and creative telling of a classic. I loved everything about it and it really put me in the Christmas spirit! Don't want to say too much as a lot of it was so special because it was unexpected. Very glad this came back as I missed it last year - am hoping to go again before the end of the run.

What a fantastic family friendly production and is just the tonic to get you in the festive spirit. Stephen Tompkinson stars as Ebeneezer Scrooge in this well-known Dickens' novel with excellent staging and beautiful carols throughout. Highlights include the audience being covered in snow and the adorable Tiny Tim! A real family treat!!

Wonderful production. Imaginative staging and a great, hard-working cast. Enjoyed the hand-bell ringing, the music was lovely, as was the singing from the Baylis circle by the two actresses. I was particularly impressed in the first half by Stephen Thompkinson's performance. I think he comes across as a better live theatre actor than TV actor. Second half brought tears to my eyes and to those of a few people seated near me. Joyous ending with great feast preparation scene and snow!
