NEWS: Brian Conley to star in musical staged concert of A Christmas Carol at the Dominion Theatre

TV comedy legend and West End star Brian Conley will lead the cast of a brand-new, musical staged concert of A Christmas Carol at the Dominion Theatre.

Conley (9 to 5, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Oliver!, Hairspray) will play Scrooge, in the Dicken’s classic festive fable, which comes to life with a sparkling Broadway score, a symphonic 24 piece orchestra and an all-star West End cast.

Written by the critically acclaimed team of Alan Menken (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast), Lynn Ahrens (Anastasia, Ragtime) and Mike Ockrent (Me and My Girl, Crazy for You), the stage musical of A Christmas Carol first premiered in 1994 at New York’s Paramount Theatre. Running for a decade at Madison Square Gardens, it was seen by over 5 million people, and now it makes its way to the iconic Dominion Theatre for a limited socially distanced season.

Music will be provided by the London Musical Theatre Orchestra.

A Christmas Carol will run at the Dominion Theatre from Monday 7 December 2020 – Saturday 2 January 2021.
