A holiday tradition returns to the Music Mountain Theatre stage with performances of “A Christmas Carol” playing weekends through Dec. 11.
Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m., at 1483 Route 179, Lambertville, N.J.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than happiness. But, on Christmas Eve, he’s forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts lead him through his past, present and future.
This adaptation of Dickens’ most well-known story proved its staying power with a decade-long run at Madison Square Garden and is presented for the 12th time at Music Mountain Theatre. The show’s story speaks to every generation.
David Whiteman returns to the role of Ebenezer Scrooge for his 12th year, leading a cast of 61 performers in the holiday production. Also returning for their 12th time in the show are Louis Palena (Bob Cratchit), Jordan Brennan, Denise Carr, Lucinda Fisher, Gary Garafola, Jill Gibilisco, Michelle Lazarczyk and McAfee Madding. Eight-year-old Sam Chase is back on stage for his second turn as young Tiny Tim.
At the 3 p.m. performance on Dec. 10, audience members are encouraged to wear their best Ugly Holiday Sweater to the show and participate in the Ugly Sweater Contest during intermission. A winner will be selected by applause and receive a trophy.
Tickets are available at musicmountaintheatre.org or 609-397-3337.
For young audiences, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will have performances at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturdays, Dec. 3, 10 and 17.
