We all know the story. A stingy man meets three ghosts that show him what the world could be if he doesn’t change his ways. A theme that seemingly gets more topical with time. In our re-imagination of the tale, we took over the Montauk Club — a building built during Dickens time, no less! — and created an immersive experience where we saw the action play out inches from the singers. All original music adapted from the story, a children’s chorus, and professional opera singers tell the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge.
