Why see A Christmas Carol?
A tradition for over 45 years
Since its debut in 1978, millions of Chicagoans - adults and children alike - have been thrilled by The Goodman's production of Charles Dickens's timeless tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and his voyage into Christmas past, present, and future. Starring Larry Yando as Scrooge, discover the perfect Chicago holiday tradition for yourself for the first or fifth time this year as it returns on November 18!
What is the story?
The story follows the cruel and miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas and all the cheer that it brings. He's in for a big surprise on Christmas Eve though, when his sleep is disturbed by the appearance of three ghosts, the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Between them, they take Scrooge on three extraordinary journeys and help to show him the error of his ways.

A Christmas Carol at the Goodman AWESOME
My family and I truly enjoyed the Goodman Theatre's A Christmas Carol. This year has been a challenge for my family and I , losing a family member to cancer, earlier this year and purchasing tickets, to see A Christmas Carol was a way to assist us in turning things around. We had an amazing time, we attended the Christmas tree lighting and was able to pose for photographs with the cast of the show. The cast was so professional and personable at the same time. My 12-year old daughter's birthday is November 15 and purchasing tickets was also a way to celebrate her birthday. I said to my daughter softly "come on birthday girl lets take a photo" and the cast of A Christmas Carol said in unisense "Happy Birthday" as the photo was being taken, that truly touched my heart because that was so very naturally kind and unexpected.
A wonderful experience. ... Read more

Outstanding job on this Christmas classic!
It is not Christmas without seeing a Christmas Carol at the Goodman Theater, Chicago.
I and my family love this Christmas classic, and the Goodman Theater never disappoints. We go back year after year and are amazed to see all the new and creative touches that are incorporated. We never tire of this play. The team at Goodman just keeps raising the bar.
What a splendid performance this past Saturday. The acting, music and choreography was spectacular. The set design ---- outstanding.
BRAVO, Goodman. Bravo! We will be back for more of Scrooge and Marley in 2015. ... Read more
