About A Christmas Carol

Erik Thomson, one of Australia’s most loved and award-winning stars across film, television and theatre will play the coveted role of Ebenezer Scrooge in the blockbuster production of A Christmas Carol – Melbourne’s new festive tradition at the Comedy Theatre from 22 November. 

Joining the production for 2024 will be stage and screen actor Alison Whyte, fresh from starring alongside Anthony LaPaglia in the much-lauded Death of a Salesman, as the Ghost of Christmas Past; and Tim Wright, who recently played Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day the Musical and Bill Austen in Mamma Mia!, as Bob Cratchit.

Returning cast include Aisha Aidara as Little Fan, also recently seen in Death of A Salesman; Kaya Byrne as Fred, direct from A Streetcar Named Desire at MTC and Groundhog Day the Musical; Sarah Morrison as Belle, currently performing in the international tour of Opera Australia’s Miss Saigon; Stephanie Lambourn as Mrs Cratchit; Samantha Morley as the Ghost of Christmas Present; Grant Piro as Fezziwig; Cameron Taylor as Nicholas; and Benjamin Colley as George.

Winner of five Tony Awards®, the smash-hit Old Vic production of Charles Dickens’ immortal classic is conceived and directed by Matthew Warchus (Matilda the Musical) and adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), audiences are welcomed into an immersive experience, brimming with music and merriment.

Make this your Christmas future and book your tickets early.
