Music by Benjamin Hardy-Phillips
‘There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and a good tune!’
The race for Christmas Number One is on! Stuck in the recording studio with her intern, Dee. J. ScratchIt, Caroline has one last chance to climb the charts. But how can she write a hit tune when her bitterness towards the most festive time of the year takes over?
As the Spirits of Christmas Number One past, present, and future try to help reignite the musical flame within Caroline, she must face up to her rocky past with her old music pop-duo partner, Marley Jacobs. Will she have a change of heart and finally cop the Christmas Number One she’s always wanted?
Join us for a hilariously festive reimagining of Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas tale. Blending Y2K nostalgia, contemporary pop, and an infectious soundtrack, this is an enchanting Christmas show for all the family!
