Come and enjoy a dazzling mix of live action, ballet, animation and special effects in this new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol’ , which also boasts an all-star voice cast including Carey Mulligan, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis and Daniel Kaluuya. The well known tale of the wealthy miser forced to reconsider his approach to life when he is visited by three spirits who show him scenes from his past, present and potential future is re-imagined to stunning big screen effect.
This retelling of the classic Christmas tale follows a Victorian family as they prepare a toy theatre for their annual performance of “A Christmas Carol.” The audience enters the imagination of one of the children and the cardboard stage transforms to reveal a magical world containing real dancers and stylized sets, with spoken narration.
The dance performances are led by former Royal Ballet first soloist and BalletBoyz founder Michael Nunn as Scrooge.
A true Christmas classic comes to life on our big screen for one day only.
