Critic reviews
Jack Thorne and Matthew Warchus’ joyful, generous adaptation returns with Stephen Tompkinson as Scrooge
This nippy, largely faithful adaptation is so sumptuously staged that I feel a bit Scrooge-like for liking it rather than loving it
Stephen Tompkinson takes over the role of Scrooge as the Old Vic’s joyous OTT Dickens take returns
It's hard to imagine a more pertinent Christmas tale, delivered with greater atmosphere, theatricality and emotional heft
Not even Scrooge himself could dislike this
Thoroughly entertaining, fun, ebullient, emotionally cathartic and uplifting, A Christmas Carol is a spectacular, joyful show
