L’Étonnant Noël de Monsieur Scrooge: musical show at La Scène Parisienne

La Scène Parisienne presents L'Étonnant Noël de Monsieur Scrooge, a family musical inspired by Charles Dickens' tale, until January 24, 2026. Designed for audiences aged 6 and up, it combines theater, original songs, dance, tap dancing, puppets, and live music in a production designed to celebrate the holiday spirit. The production is brought to you by the Compagnie du Loup Gris, a multidisciplinary artistic collective.

The plot is set in London in 1843, on Christmas Eve. Ebenezer Scrooge, a lonely old moneylender, rejects everything associated with the festivities: family invitations, charitable gestures, and acts of kindness. His routine is turned upside down when the ghost of his former partner appears to warn him of the imminent visit of the Three Great Spirits of Christmas. This confrontation with his past, present, and future forms the heart of the story and questions his ability to change.

Ophélie Charpentier's staging is based on an aesthetic that combines magic, mystery, and musical theater. The original songs form a soundtrack that accompanies the dramatic progression, reinforced by the musical arrangements and sound design of Deborah Shannon Diouf. The show brings together several artistic disciplines, including choreographed numbers, dialogue scenes, and live musical performances, to create a coherent and immersive universe for young audiences.
