THE SONGS

We’ve also got two great dance videos for Fezziwig's Shindig and Glad To Be A Chimney Sweep for you to get learning!
THE STORY
It’s Christmas Eve and what a night! Or so it proves for the miserable, miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who finds himself visited by some rather unexpected characters! Through encounters with his former partner, Jacob Marley (deceased), and three very different ghosts, Scrooge is given the chance to revisit his past, weigh his present and glimpse his future. Will he take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change, or will he choose to remain in the bleak and lonely world he has created for himself, bound by chains of selfishness and greed?

A brilliant musical
We performed this play as a whole school and it was brilliant. We adapted lots of the songs to include individual and group solos and we had KS1 performing the suggested dances. It worked brilliantly and we were so happy with it. Highly recommended. You will need a confident Scrooge as this character had over 60 lines.
Magical play
What a wonderful play the childre loved it
By student
An amazing show! Loads of amazing songs, parts and lines. The Charles Dickens classic has gone to the next level! Amazing!
A magical, musical spectacle to celebrate the holiday season!
This is a fun adaptation of the Charles Dickens Classic and contains a creative script with warm-ups, props, costume ideas, staging and lyrics. The teacher's book makes everything stress-free because it is so well organised and doesn't over-complicate things. I'd highly recommend the Words on Screen™ version as it enhances the experience and makes learning songs easier and more enjoyable. Bah Humbug! is a Christmas must-have and is comical, haunting and thought-provoking.
