Returning cast include Aisha Aidara as Little Fan, also recently seen in Death of A Salesman; Kaya Byrne as Fred, direct from A Streetcar Named Desire at MTC and Groundhog Day the Musical; Sarah Morrison as Belle, currently performing in the international tour of Opera Australia’s Miss Saigon; Stephanie Lambourn as Mrs Cratchit; Samantha Morley as the Ghost of Christmas Present; Grant Piro as Fezziwig; Cameron Taylor as Nicholas; and Benjamin Colley as George.

Winner of five Tony Awards®, the smash-hit Old Vic production of Charles Dickens’ immortal classic is conceived and directed by Matthew Warchus (Matilda the Musical) and adapted for the stage by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), audiences are welcomed into an immersive experience, brimming with music and merriment.
