(We move through the bustling streets of London following a poor man, Mr. Smythe, and his daughter. Carolers sing and
Collect coins.)
CAROLERS
Hear the bells all over
London town
How joyously they ring.
See the lamps all aglow
In London town
And hear each caroler sing.
Bring a happy heart
To London town
And spread your kindly cheer.
Harken while you may
For Christmas Day is near!
Harken while you may
For Christmas Day is near...

Nothing To Do With Me Part 1
by A Christmas Carol Cast
Nothing To Do With Me Part 1
CRATCHIT
Mr. Scrooge, I'm sorry,
But sir, might I go?
Might you pay me early,
Just this once...
SCROOGE
(Shouting after the Charity Men)
'Picking a man's pocket every 25th of December!'
CRATCHIT
(Determinedly)
My Tiny Tim is ill, sir.
Youngest son, you know!
Wife and children need me,
Just this one...
SCROOGE
People wanting this,
People wanting that,
Spreading bloody cheer!
CRATCHIT
'It's only once a year, sir!'
SCROOGE
Plucking at your sleeve,
Holding out the hat,
Singing in your ear!
CRATCHIT
'Oh, I'm sorry, sir, I never meant to...'
SCROOGE
Taking off a day,
Asking for their pay,
CRATCHIT
'Only once a year!'
SCROOGE
Only once a year!
Well you can take Christmas
And stuff it with bread!
And if that isn't perfectly clear...
I do not need to know
Of your family or your woe.
I suggest Tiny Tim drink yea!
CRATCHIT
'He's only six!'
SCROOGE
Give him tea, give him stew
It has nothing to do
With me!
FRED
Come to Christmas dinner.
We're inviting you,
Be with family, Uncle,
Just this once.
SCROOGE
'No, thank you.'
FRED
You'd enjoy it, Uncle.
We'd enjoy it, too.
You'd meet Sally, Uncle,
Just this once.
SCROOGE
People taking wives,
Living little lives,
Cozier than mice!
FRED
'We want nothing from you.'
SCROOGE
Marrying for love,
Push will come to shove,
You'll be thinking twice.
FRED
'I will not get angry, Uncle!'
SCROOGE
Asking me to dine,
Breaking open wine,
Taking no advice!
FRED
(Getting annoyed despite himself)
'Good God!'
SCROOGE
Well, you can have Christmas,
And marriage as well,
And to hell with your trees and your rice!
I will not fill my plate,
Socialize, or celebrate
With a fool and his family.
FRED
(Amused at his uncle's outrageousness)
'Well!'
SCROOGE
Let your love see you through
But have nothing to do
With me!
Nothing To Do With Me Part 2
JONATHON
Hear the bells over London town,
How joyously they ring.
See the lamps aglow in...
SCROOGE
'For God's sake, child! Shut up and let me pass!'
(Jonathon kicks him in the shin.
Scrooge raises his stick to strike him but Jonathon dodges and runs.
The Sandwichboard Man blocks Scrooge.)
SANDWICHBOARD MAN
Hey! Have you forgotten how to smile, sir?
SCROOGE
'Smile? At what? Children should earn their wages by more than a song.'
SANDWICHBOARD MAN
Come and buy a ticket to the show?
SCROOGE
'Only fools waste their time and money on frivolity. Now move aside.'
SANDWICHBOARD MAN
Life'll pass you by
In just a while, sir,
And it may be later than you know!
(A Woman Lamplighter tumbles on the ground, her makeshift ladder broken.)
LAMPLIGHTER
Help a workin' person
Reach the light, sir?
SCROOGE
'A woman's not fit for the job.'
LAMPLIGHTER
My husband's ill,
He'll likely get the sack!
SCROOGE
'Then it's the workhouse for you both, isn't it!'
LAMPLIGHTER
Oughta take the time
For doin' right, sir!
SCROOGE
'Good evening.'
LAMPLIGHTER
(Menacingly)
You'll be sorry, sir,
When you look back!
(Scrooge hears the loud tap-tapping of the Bind Old Hag's cane.)
BLIND OLD HAG
Spare a coin
For someone who is blind, sir?
SCROOGE
'Devil take you, old woman. I have nothing for you.'
BLIND OLD HAG
(Grabbing his arm hard)
None so blind
As those who will not see!
SCROOGE
'Release my arm. Let go of me!'
BLIND OLD HAG
Go your sorry way,
And never mind, sir!
Come the future,
You'll remember me!
(Scrooge reels away from her, and stops in his tracks, as a small funeral procession passes.
Following behind are Mr. Smythe and Grace Smythe.)
GRACE SMYTHE
Let the stars in the sky
Remind us of man's compassion.
Let us love till we die
And God bless us everyone.
(Grace and the funeral procession dissolve into the distance leaving Scrooge all alone.)
SCROOGE
Damn this silly season!
Damn all humankind!
Makes you lose your reason!
Makes you lose your mind!
Next thing you know
I'll be dancing in snow.
Throwing coins to the poor,
And the lame, and the blind!
Well, I wish that the whole world
Would just let me be!
Let the whole world be damned!
It has nothing to do with me!
(Suddenly the Blind Old Hag is at his elbow again.)
BLIND OLD HAG
(whispers menacingly)
'Look to yourself! You look to yourself, before it's too late.'
SCROOGE
'Bah, Humbug!'
CRATCHIT
Mr. Scrooge, I'm sorry,
But sir, might I go?

You Mean More To Me
by A Christmas Carol Cast
You mean more to me,
Than words can ever say
Just to hold your hand
And to know our love will stay
Feels so right
You're in my arms, my love
Tonight
Oh you,
You mean more to me
Than any love I've ever known
And I want to give you all my love
Just you alone
Oh
You're all my dreams come true
There's so much joy in your eyes
And all the love you give
You've finally made me realize
You're all I need
Oh you
You mean more to me
Than words can ever say.
Than words can ever say
Just to hold your hand
And to know our love will stay
Feels so right
You're in my arms, my love
Tonight
Oh you,
You mean more to me
Than any love I've ever known
And I want to give you all my love
Just you alone
Oh
You're all my dreams come true
There's so much joy in your eyes
And all the love you give
You've finally made me realize
You're all I need
Oh you
You mean more to me
Than words can ever say.

Marley's Visitation
by A Christmas Carol Cast
It is required of every man
That his spirit travel far
Lending help to those he can
No matter who they are
But if you don't go forth in life
Spreading joy and easing pain
Your spirit will go forth in death
And you shall wear a chain.
These were coins I hoarded for a rainy day
Now with every jingle I'm distressed
Locks and keys that helped me keep the poor away
That's what put these locks and keys around my waist.
Link by link
My chain was getting longer
Link by Link
I should've heard it clink
Link by link
Each year a little stronger
Link by link by horrifying link!
Stacking up my silver and my bits of gold
Filling up my vault when day was done
Well, vaults are made of lead and cash is very cold
And around your neck they weigh a bloody ton!
Link by link
You're on the brink
It's written here
In blood-red ink
Unlock your heart
It's not too late
Or you'll be dragging something more than twice this weight...
Ebenezer Scrooge...
You will be visited by three ghosts
When the clock strikes one
The Ghost of Christmas Past
When the clock strikes two
The Ghost of Christmas Present
When the clock strikes three
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Be
Three ghosts who yet may stop you ending up like me...
These are spirits of men who were once like you
Dragging chains of all that we acquired
All the good in life is now too late to do
Not to mention this can really make you tired!
Link by link
Your chain is in the making
Link by link
No way to make it shrink
Link by link
Just listen to it shaking
Link by link by horrifying...!
Link by link by
Link by link by
Link by link by
Link by link
Your life must be corrected
Link by link
And sooner than you think
Link by link
Or you shall be connected
Link by link by horrifying link!!!

by A Christmas Carol Cast
-GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY-
It is required of every man,
That his spirit travel far.
Lending help to those he can,
No matter who they are.
But if you don't go forth in life,
Spreading joy and easing pain,
Your spirit will go forth in death,
And you shall wear a chain!
These were coins I hoarded for a rainy day,
Now with every jingle I'm distressed!
Locks and keys that helped me keep the poor away...
That's what put these locks and keys around my waist..
Link by link,
My chain was getting longer!
Link by link,
I should've heard a clink!
Link by link,
Each year a little stronger..
Link by link by HORRIFYING link!
Stacking up my silver and my bits of gold,
Filling up my vault when day was done!
Well, vaults are made of lead
And cash is very cold!
And around your neck they weigh a bloody ton!
Link by link,
You're on the brink.
It's written here,
In blood-red ink.
Unlock your heart!
It's not too late!
For you'll be dragging something more than
Twice this weight!
-SCROOGE-
No, please...
-GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY-
Ebenezer Scrooge...
-SCROOGE-
Y-yes?
-GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY-
You shall be visited by three ghosts!
-SCROOGE-
Umm, no thank you..
-GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY-
When the clock strikes one -
The Ghost of Christmas Past..
-SCROOGE-
I prefer not to think about the past..
-GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY-
When the clock strikes two -
The Ghost of Christmas Present..
-SCROOGE-
At present, I'd rather go to bed. Good night...
-GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY-
When the clock strikes three -
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Be!
Three ghosts who yet may stop you
From ending up like me...
~ Ghosts of other greedy men and women invade Scrooge's room. ~
-GHOST CHORUS-
Singing sorry spirits who were once like you!*
Dragging chains are all that we've acquired.
All the good in life it's now too late to do..
Not to mention this could really make you tired!
Link by link,
Your chain is in the making!
Link by link,
No way to make it shrink!
Link by link,
Just listen to it shaking!
Whoo ooooo oooooo ooooo
Oooooo oooo ooooooo oo
Oooo oooo whooo ooo ooooo

Abundance And Charity
by A Christmas Carol Cast
(The jolly Ghost of Christmas Present appears in Scrooge's room.)
GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
You call this Christmas dinner?
This measly pot of gruel?!
You aren't just a sinner,
You're an outright fool!
Why, the present's full of pleasures!
Things to see, enjoy, and taste!
And at Christmas no one measures
His wallet or his waist!
So I've done you just a teeny tiny favor!
Oh, don't thank me.
It's perfectly free.
Just a new experience to savor ...
Some laughter, some magic ... on me!
(Scrooge finds himself in the Gaiety Music Hall, sitting in the audience, surrounded by children.
The Ghost makes a sweeping entrance through the velvet curtain onstage.)
Abundance! Charity!
Good will toward men!
Enjoyment! Hilarity!
Good will toward men!
Come share some,
Spare some,
No matter when, Ben!
Get with the spirit
'Cause you're gonna hear it again!
Abundance! Charity!
And sheer delight!
Enjoyment! Hilarity!
They're yours tonight!
I'm here, sir, dear sir,
To set you quite right!
Never a doubt
That your heart is about
To take flight!
There's a joyful spirit
In your heart!
My friend, that spirit's mine!
Dine on the
Bread of human kindness,
My fabulous fruit of the fine!
A treat, sir!
A sweet, sir!
A little indulgence and then,
Abundance! Charity!
Good will toward men!
Abundance! Charity!
PANTO GIRLS

Things to see, enjoy, and taste!
And at Christmas no one measures
His wallet or his waist!
So I've done you just a teeny tiny favor!
Oh, don't thank me.
It's perfectly free.
Just a new experience to savor ...
Some laughter, some magic ... on me!
(Scrooge finds himself in the Gaiety Music Hall, sitting in the audience, surrounded by children.
The Ghost makes a sweeping entrance through the velvet curtain onstage.)
Abundance! Charity!
Good will toward men!
Enjoyment! Hilarity!
Good will toward men!
Come share some,
Spare some,
No matter when, Ben!
Get with the spirit
'Cause you're gonna hear it again!
Abundance! Charity!
And sheer delight!
Enjoyment! Hilarity!
They're yours tonight!
I'm here, sir, dear sir,
To set you quite right!
Never a doubt
That your heart is about
To take flight!
There's a joyful spirit
In your heart!
My friend, that spirit's mine!
Dine on the
Bread of human kindness,
My fabulous fruit of the fine!
A treat, sir!
A sweet, sir!
A little indulgence and then,
Abundance! Charity!
Good will toward men!
Abundance! Charity!
PANTO GIRLS
So much in store!
GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Dancing On Your Grave
by A Christmas Carol Cast
(Scrooge meets the Blind Old Hag again,
Who transforms into the ominous Ghost of Christmas Future and transports Scrooge to a graveyard.)
GRAVEDIGGERS
Listen to the rhythm
Of the shovel on the gravel
And the murmurs of the spirits
That you fear,
Dancing in the shadows
Of the future.
Your future
Lies here!
(Hooded, faceless Monks emerge through the mist.)
MONKS
Listen to the echoes
Of the voices in the shadows.
All the people who
You never tried to save!
Listen to the footsteps
Of the people who'll be
Dancing on your grave!
MONKS, GRAVEDIGGERS
Listen to the rhythm
Of the hammer on the coffin
And the murmur of
The people drawing near.
Listen to the music of the future.
You future lies here!
Listen to the echoes of the voices of the future
As they curse you
For the little
That you gave!
Listen to the footsteps
Of the people
Who'll be dancing on your
Grave!
SCROOGE
"Spirit, I know your purpose is to do me good."
(The Ghost bows her head in acknowledgment.)
Lead me to the future.
I don't know what hells await me
But I know I have to go there
To return!
Tear me into shreds
And re-create me!
Tell me that it's not to late
To learn!
I can feel the shiver
Of a shadow passing over
And I have a premonition
It's for me!
Lead me to the future!
Show me everything
I'm terrified to see!
(Mist swirls away to reveal two Bankers and the Beadle from the Royal Exchange.)
BANKER ONE
Didn't he die?
BANKER TWO
Didn't who die, sir?
BANKER ONE
Terrible, mean old what's his name?
BANKER TWO
Couldn't care less!
BEADLE
Neither could I, sir!
Funeral day, and no one came!
BANKER ONE
What did he leave?
BANKER TWO
Nobody knows and
Nobody chose to mourn his fate!
BANKER ONE, BANKER TWO
Have a nice day.
BEADLE
Have a nice Christmas!
ALL
Look at the time, I'm late!
SCROOGE
"I know those gentlemen from the Exchange! Of whom do they speak?
What am I to learn from this?"
(A new scene is revealed: Mrs. Mops and
Two Undertakers strip a corpse of its clothes and steal the bed curtains.)
MRS. MOPS
Shame to let a shirt like this
Go in the ground!
UNDERTAKERS
Grab the sheets and curtains off his bed!
MRS. MOPS
Wasn't worth your spit
While he was still around,
ALL THREE
But just look
How much he's worth
Now that he's dead!
SCROOGE
"Oh merciful heaven, what is this?"
(Old Joe appears out of the same mist, ringing his bell.)
OLD JOE
"Rags and bones ... Rags and bones ..."
MRS. MOPS
"Hey Old Joe! Whatcha think?!"
OLD JOE
These are nice.
I'll give you three and eight, mum.
These are nice,
And I'll take these besides.
These are nice,
And these'll fetch a great sum!
ALL FOUR
What a lovely profit he provides!

You Mean More To Me Reprise
by A Christmas Carol Cast
(Bob Cratchit, Mrs. Cratchit, and their Children now stand at a small,
Fresh grave, marked by a simple wooden cross.)
CRATCHIT
I don't have a fortune
Hidden in a shoe.
Many men have fortunes.
All I have is you ...
"We shall none of us forget you, Tiny Tim. My little child.
(The Ghost leads Scrooge to another spot in
The graveyard where a neglected gravestone stands alone.
Scrooge sees his own name on it.)

Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today / God Bless Us Every One Reprise
by A Christmas Carol Cast
I have seen a future full of darkness,
All the darkness of my heart,
At my door a world in need of kindness,
From man's kindness,
I departed,
All the hours and days and years I've wasted,
All the joy and love I never tasted,
All the errors of the past replaced with something strange...
Give me time to change,
I can see a future full of beauty,
And my spirit starts to fly!
I can change the world, yes, it's my duty!
God forgive me,
Let me try - I'll,
Spend my fortune on the ones who need me,
Go where kindness and my conscience lead me,
Give my heart and soul to all-God speed me on my way,
And to God I pray...
Let the Christmas spirit live within me,
Yesterday, tomorrow and today!
All the darkness of my heart,
At my door a world in need of kindness,
From man's kindness,
I departed,
All the hours and days and years I've wasted,
All the joy and love I never tasted,
All the errors of the past replaced with something strange...
Give me time to change,
I can see a future full of beauty,
And my spirit starts to fly!
I can change the world, yes, it's my duty!
God forgive me,
Let me try - I'll,
Spend my fortune on the ones who need me,
Go where kindness and my conscience lead me,
Give my heart and soul to all-God speed me on my way,
And to God I pray...
Let the Christmas spirit live within me,
Yesterday, tomorrow and today!

What A Day, What A Sky
by A Christmas Carol Cast
(Scrooge awakes, tangled in the bedsheets and realizes he hasn't missed Christmas after all.
Overjoyed, he rushes into the street.)
SCROOGE
What a day, what a sky
What a happy man am I!
What a joy to be live and well!
God, what a street!
What friends you meet!
(Old Joe and his smelly horse go by.)
What a sound!
What a lovely smell!
(Scrooge sees the Charity Men.)
Here are coins
For the poor,
Just the first of many more,
And a check for your charity!
And if we save a few
Let it all have to do with me!
(Scrooge sees poor Mr. Smythe and his daughter.)
"Smythe!"
Hear the bells as they chime.
Mr. Smythe, you're out of time!
And you're now out of debt as well!
Go buy the tots
A toy, buy lots!
Have a good and a fine noel!
If I'd known what I know
I'd have done it years ago!
I'm as light as a man can be!
Oh, the whole world is new
And it all has to do with me!
(Scrooge makes his way through the streets, seeing familiar faces.)
SANDWICHBOARD MAN
Mr. Scrooge was laughin'!
Gave me quite a fright!
LAMPLIGHTER
Something made him see the light!
BLIND OLD HAG
Maybe he's been drinkin'!
Gave me quite a start!
ALL THREE
Maybe Christmas touched his heart!
(Scrooge stops off at the Cratchits to deliver his prize turkey to
Them and pledges to help them from now on.
He continues on to his nephew's door, and humbly asks if he can come to Christmas dinner.)
FRED
There's a place in my heart
Where you've always been for me.
SCROOGE
"Sally?"
(He presents her with the bunch of flowers he purchased.)
SALLY
"We're so very happy you've come."
FRED, SALLY
Welcome home, Uncle Scrooge
Welcome home to family.
(A few snowflakes fall...and then, many, many more.)
Overjoyed, he rushes into the street.)
SCROOGE
What a day, what a sky
What a happy man am I!
What a joy to be live and well!
God, what a street!
What friends you meet!
