A Christmas Carol 2026
Nov 13 - Dec 31, 2026 in Goodman's Albert Theatre
“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
Millions have rediscovered Dickens’ classic at The Goodman over the past five decades—and know why it’s “the best Christmas story ever told!” (Time Out Chicago). Follow the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as ghostly intervention transforms his holiday disdain into delight one fateful Christmas night. Chicago favorite Tim Hopper—”for whom a furrowed brow and serious visage comes easily” (Chicago Tribune)—makes his debut as Scrooge. This timeless production, long heralded for its “first-rate cast and marvelous staging” (Chicago Sun-Times), is not to be missed.
