Dolly Parton’s Christmas show comes to the UK

Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol brings Dicken’s classic work to life for a new audience. Elderly miser Ebenezer Scrooge owns a mining company town in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Blinded by greed and a single-minded desire to line his own pockets, his eyes are closed to the joy of the holiday season. That is until he is visited by three ghosts, who each have a lesson to teach him about love, generosity, and the true meaning of Christmas.

Charles Dicken’s beloved story delivers a timeless Christmas message to captivate young theatregoers and remind the rest of us what truly matters this festive season, whilst Dolly Parton’s celebrated song writing brings a new vigour to this heart-warming story. Although Dolly does not appear live in the production, her presence can be felt in every line.
“Bringing our reimagined Charles Dickens classic to London feels like a homecoming,” said Dolly of the show. “My songs weave the music of my beautiful Smoky Mountains into this timeless Christmas story, and I can’t wait for London audiences to hear them as we tell that story, set in a place that is truly special to me.”
