This holiday season, the beloved story of A Christmas Carol returns to Broadway like it has never been seen before. Tony Award winner Jefferson Mays stars in a one-man version of the holiday classic in a production directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Michael Arden and the pair sat down, along with scenic and costume desinger Dane Laffrey, to talk about the exciting new production.
A Christmas Carol will begin preview performances on November 8, 2022, at Broadway’s Nederlander Theatre, ahead of an official opening on November 21, 2022. Tickets are on sale now.
In this A Christmas Carol unlike any other – past, present or future, Jefferson Mays plays more than 50 roles, including a potato, in a virtuosic, master class of a performance that must be seen to be believed.
Directed by the acclaimed, two-time Tony Award nominee Michael Arden, adapted by Mays, Susan Lyons, and Arden, and conceived by Arden and Tony Award nominee Dane Laffrey, A Christmas Carol had a wildly acclaimed world premiere in 2018 at Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse. In the winter of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, producer Hunter Arnold released a special filmed version of the production as way to raise money and bring the magic of A Christmas Carol to 84 partner theaters across the country.
