After the sell-out production of its concert version of A Christmas Carol last year, the London Musical Theatre Orchestra returns to the Lyceum Theatre in London this December.
Starring award-winning actor Robert Lindsay as Scrooge, the show will have two performances of the festive favourite on 11 and 18 December.
The Charles Dickens classic gets the full Broadway treatment from Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin), Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Seussical) and Mike Ockrent (Crazy For You, Me and My Girl).
The musical ran for ten years at New York’s Madison Square Garden, where The New York Times called it “a tonic for adults, and for children a transfixing journey”.
LMTO’s concert version of A Christmas Carol follows their five-star performances of Mack & Mabel at the Hackney Empire and Bernstein’s Candide In Concert at Cadogan Hall.
LMTO founder Freddie Tapner said: “I’m enormously excited to return to the Lyceum Theatre with Robert as our Scrooge. This musical adaption of A Christmas Carol contains some of my favourite Alan Menken tunes – ‘A Place Called Home’, ‘Christmas Together’ and the hilarious ‘Mr Fezziwig’s Annual Christmas Ball’ – and to perform them with the full London Musical Theatre Orchestra will be a total thrill. To my mind, it’s the ultimate family Christmas treat.”
The full cast is soon to be announced.
