A Christmas Carol gets a spectacular new twist as West End performers and 16 international cirque artists bring Dickens’ classic to life. Forget the traditional A Christmas Carol. SCROOGE! CIRQUE EXTRAVAGANZA takes Charles Dickens’ much-loved festive classic and gives it a spectacular new twist, combining musical theatre, comedy and storytelling with the jaw-dropping skills of contemporary circus.

Rather than simply adding a few circus acts to a traditional production, the cirque becomes an integral part of the storytelling, creating a heightened, fantastical world in which Scrooge’s journey unfolds. Fezziwig becomes a flamboyant circus owner, the supernatural world of the three Christmas ghosts is brought to life through spectacular cirque artistry, and Scrooge’s journey is punctuated by aerialists, acrobats, fire performers, juggling and other breathtaking acts. Even Tiny Tim dreams of seeing the circus. For the Cratchit family, it represents a world of wonder and excitement far removed from the hardship of their everyday lives and when Tiny Tim first appears on stage, audiences can expect a surprise of their own.
