<p class="MsoNormal">It's 1860 and the stingy and cranky Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas; loathes people and wishes for the decrease of the surplus of poor population; runs his bank exploiting his employee Bob Cratchit and clients, giving a bitter treatment
to his own nephew and acquaintances. However, on Christmas Eve, he is visited by the doomed ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley that tells him that three spirits will visit him that night. The musical features all the songs from the film, including the
Oscar nominated song ‘Thank You Very Much’.<o:p></o:p></p>
