Based on Charles Dickens’s A Christmas
Carol; 3 Ghosts celebrates what Dickens
himself wrote as a preface to his story: “I
have endeavoured in this Ghostly little
book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which
shall not put my readers out of humour with
themselves, with each other, with the
season, or with me. May it haunt their
houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay
it.”
Taking his cue, the music, lyrics, and story
do not shy away from the ghostly aspect
and it does not attempt to change the
original story at all. 3 Ghosts is filled with
emotional peaks; from loneliness to
happiness, anger to laugher, to despair, to
romance, to fear, to sadness, and to hope.
Even though it’s a musical thick with
original Dickens’s quotes, as you watch it
you feel it’s the first time you’ve heard the
story.
3 Ghosts made its NYC premiere at
Theatre Row, December 2011. Please
