This version of Charles Dickens's classic story is adapted by Harry Potter and the Cursed Child playwright Jack Thorne and directed by Matthew Warchus.

Thorne and Warchus's A Christmas Carol premiered at the Old Vic Theatre in London in 2017, and this will mark its ninth consecutive holiday season on stage. In 2019, the production ran on Broadway and later won five Tony Awards, including Best Original Score and multiple design prizes.

As previously announced, the creative team for the Off-Broadway revival includes co-director Thomas Caruso, set and costume designer Rob Howell, lighting designer Hugh Vanstone, sound designer Simon Baker, composer and arranger Christopher Nightingale, and wig, hair, and makeup designer Campbell Young. Movement is by Lizzi Gee.
