Originally written for the screen, Leslie Bricusse adapted his screenplay, music and lyrics for this stage version. The heart warming story of how the miserly Scrooge was shown the error of his ways by his deceased partner Jacob Marley, and the three Christmas ghosts who persuade him to turn over a new leaf, is brilliantly supplemented by this wonderful score. Favorite songs that were established by the film are now given a new Digital Dolby Surround interpretation. The Coldstream Guards beloved marching song THANK YOU VERY MUCH has never sounded more exciting and uplifting. The opening number A CHRISTMAS CAROL has never been more joyful. I'LL BEGIN AGAIN was never more stirring than as sung by Anthony Newley. Leslie Bricusse has also written a sensational new song A BETTER LIFE, to challenge his own WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I?.
