London Musical Theatre Orchestra have announced the full casting for the 2017 production of their spectacular concert version of A Christmas Carol, which returns by overwhelming popular demand to the Lyceum Theatre in London after a five-star sell-out performance last year, with two performances of the festive favourite at 7.30pm on 11th and 18th December. Tickets are on sale now.
Now confirmed to star alongside previous names announced are: Olivier Award nominee Sophie-Louise Dann as Mrs Fezziwig, Glenn Carter as Marley, Nicholas Colicos as Mr Fezziwig, Rebecca Lock as Mrs Cratchit and new-comer Cameron Potts as Fred Anderson / Young Scrooge.
Alongside the newly announced cast members, multi award-winning stage and screen actor Robert Lindsay returns to the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. Robert will be joined by Lucie Jones as Emily / the Ghost of Christmas Future, Hugh Maynard as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Gemma Sutton as the Ghost of Christmas Past and Olivier-nominee Michael Xavier as Bob Cratchit.
Charles Dickens’ classic novel gets the full Broadway treatment by the award-winning team of Alan Menken, Lynn Ahrens and Mike Ockrent. This joyous musical extravaganza ran every Christmas for ten years at New York’s Madison Square Garden, where The New York Times called it “a tonic for adults, and for children a transfixing journey”.
The London Musical Theatre Orchestra is conducted by founder Freddie Tapner, who said: “We’re delighted to announce our full cast today. I’m particularly excited that real life husband and wife, Nicholas Colicos and Sophie-Louise Dann, will play Dickens’ famous married couple, Mr and Mrs Fezziwig. In total, there will be a company of over 60 performing this gorgeous Alan Menken score on the Lyceum Theatre stage. I can’t wait for our audience to hear the show – just three weeks to go!”
