This rousing adaptation of the 1970 Oscar-nominated film “Scrooge” tells the timeless tale of the infamous miser’s supernatural encounters on Christmas Eve. A wonderful musical score by Oscar and Grammy Award-winning composer Leslie Bricusse (“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”) brings Charles Dickens’ classic novel “A Christmas Carol” to life like never before.
