Dickens’ tale of a miserly curmudgeon, admirable father, gentle son, ghostly visitors, and unforgettable friends has been loved for over 170 years. Whether you’re a newcomer to this yuletide tradition or a seasoned veteran, let our annual production of A Christmas Carol ring in your holidays with meaningful and heartwarming mirth! A Christmas Carol is available now through January 1 at https://www.broadwayondemand.com/series/Tq811xxkOLEM-a-christmas-carol–hale-center-theatre.
Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and their merry band of royal renegades bring their hilarious princess vaudeville to your living room! Forget the princesses you think you know–the original storybook heroines have come to life to set the record straight. Starring Diana DeGarmo, Micaela Diamond, Celia Rose Gooding, Liisi LaFontaine, Jaygee Macapugay, Ashley Pérez Flanagan, Gabriella Pizzolo, and Alysha Umphress, Disenchanted: A New Musical is presented on Broadway on Demand beginning on Tuesday, December 15 at https://www.broadwayondemand.com/not-live/hUSSnGvbtmgd-disenchanted–art-lab–november-15?channel=live-productions.
Denise Welch hosts a starry list of performers coming together for a filmed concert, We Need A Little Christmas, in support of Shelter & Crisis at Christmas. The concert will be filmed live at the Actors’ Church (St. Paul’s Church) in London’s Covent Garden and not only raises money for two charities, but also provides the opportunity to employ freelancers tod create a very magical event this festive season. This production was directed and staged by Michael Strassen, with musical direction by George Charter, production design by Andrew Exeter and produced by Thomas Hopkins & Michael Quinn for Ginger Quiff Media and Guy Chapman. We Need a Little Christmas begins streaming on Friday, Decmeber 18 at 7:00pm ET at https://www.broadwayondemand.com/not-live/409pnlN1yjzp-we-need-a-little-christmas-in-aid-of-shelter–crisis-at-christmas?channel=current-live-schedule
Recorded Live at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, The Hip Hop Nutcracker is a holiday mash-up for the entire family. Directed and choreographed by Olivier Award nominee Jennifer Weber, this unique and joyful event is performed by a supercharged cast of all-star dancers and MC Kurtis Blow, who opens the show with a short set. This re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic takes audiences on a journey that celebrates love, community and the magic of the holiday season. Hip Hop Nutcracker streams on Friday, December 18 at 8:00pm ET at https://www.broadwayondemand.com/series/mEenUqriTdab-hip-hop-nutcracker.

Drawing inspiration from this centuries-old tradition, The Guthrie is proud to present Dickens’ Holiday Classic, a special virtual event featuring a cast of four beloved A Christmas Carol veterans who will reimagine Dickens’ hand-curated chapters for a global audience to enjoy.
