Mischief, the multi-award-winning creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, have released brand new production images for their upcoming festive comedy Christmas Carol Goes Wrong. The show opens in London’s West End at the Apollo Theatre on 6 December 2025, following the launch of its UK tour at The Lowry in Salford.
The production stars Matt Cavendish as Max, Daniel Fraser as Chris, Sasha Frost as Sandra, Chris Leask as Trevor, Henry Lewis as Robert, Jonathan Sayer as Dennis, Greg Tannahill as Jonathan, with Nancy Zamit and Dumile Sibanda sharing the role of Annie. Understudies include Alex Bird, Will Bishop, Siobhan Cha Cha, Colm Gleeson and Ashley Tucker.
Written by original Mischief members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong sees the return of the Cornley Amateur Dramatic Society, known for their hilariously disastrous attempts at staging classic plays.
The production is directed by Matt DiCarlo, who returns following acclaim for his West End debut with The Comedy About Spies.
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will run at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue for a limited seven-week season from Saturday 6 December 2025 to Sunday 25 January 2026. A Gala Performance will take place on Sunday 14 December 2025 at 5pm.
The UK tour includes stops at Cheltenham Everyman Theatre, Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Theatre Royal Bath, Nottingham Theatre Royal, Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury, Edinburgh Festival Theatre, King’s Theatre in Glasgow, and concludes at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury on 1 March 2026.
The Cornley crew battle miscommunication, missing actors, and a growing feud over who will play Scrooge. Audiences can expect a chaotic and laugh-out-loud take on the beloved Dickens tale.
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is produced by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence.
