50+ (looking at all ages - can age up with make-up.) Greedy, crotchety miserly man through most of the show who is taught the true meaning of Christmas and becomes a kinder, happier human being.

Mid 30s on up. Kind affable man who deeply loves his family, is loyal to Scrooge and who knows what the true important things in life are.

Scrooge's nephew. A sweet, kind man who loves Christmas. He is the son of Scrooge's beloved sister Fan. Scrooge is his last remaining relative and he loves him as the last living reminder of his mother. He genuinely believes Scrooge is not as bad as everyone else in London believes.

50+ (looking at all ages, can age up with make-up) Scrooge's partner who died seven years before the beginning of the play. He is cursed to roam the world, seeing the plights and miseries of man and being unable to do anything about them because he is a cursed ghost. He takes pity on Scrooge and does not want him to share his fate, so he arranges for Scrooge to have his experiences with the three spirits.

A magical being who is part of nature and can travel back through time. They show Scrooge the Christmases of his past.

A magical being who is the physical embodiment of Christmas. Mostly jovial, and happy, this character has moments of deep sadness and anger when witnessing the ignorant, thoughtless cruelty of humans to one another.

Wife of the stall keeper. She helps her husband with his business. She is genuinely afraid of what will happen to her and her family because of Scrooge and his unwillingness to bend or compromise.

She works for Scrooge as his part-time help. She is feisty and snarky and is one of the few people who is not afraid of Scrooge and will speak back to him. Good comedic timing is a strong plus for the performer of this role.

Scrooge as a young man. This role transitions -- he starts as naïve, awkward and slightly sweet and in the next scene his is starting to become the old Scrooge we are more familiar with.
