Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol musical to run in London this Christmas
Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol – A New Musical will have its European premiere in London this December.
Producers Fiery Angel Entertainment and Red Tail Entertainment will present the festive show for a Christmas season at the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall from 8 December 2022 to 8 January 2023.
The musical sees Charles Dickens’ iconic A Christmas Carol retold with songs from Parton.
Set during the 1930s in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, this heart-warming and truly unforgettable production imagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the owner of a mining company town, where his callous greed blinds him to the joys and gifts of the season.
As a Christmas Eve snowstorm approaches, Scrooge is visited by the spirit of his deceased business partner and three ghosts who compel him to see life anew and discover that love and family are the greatest and most precious gifts we have.
Dickens’s classic characters and Parton’s heart-felt songs beautifully reimagine this timeless story in a whole new light.
