A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas
Hartford Stage has announced the cast and creative team of A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas. After a successful, sold-out return in 2023, Hartford Stage has added ten more performances for audiences to enjoy the holiday classic.

Actor Allen Gilmore returns to the role of delightful curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge after his charming debut in 2023. Adaptor and original director, Michael Wilson, also returns at the helm. Longtime audience members will recognize familiar faces in the ensemble: Tony Award nominee John-Andrew Morrison as the Spirit of Christmas Present, fan-favorite Noble Shropshire as the ghastly Jacob Marley—and the return of original cast member Natalie Brown
“A Christmas Carol has been a tradition among our audiences since 1998,” says Hartford Stage Artistic Director Melia Bensussen. “I am overjoyed to announce that we are adding even more performances this year for audiences to experience this heartwarming tale. We welcome audiences and patrons to make A Christmas Carol at Hartford Stage your new tradition this holiday season. Whether it’s your first time seeing Michael Wilson’s brilliant adaptation of A Christmas Carol, or you’re revisiting the story you know and love, we can’t wait to share the magic of Hartford Stage with you.”
The cast includes Allen Gilmore as Ebenezer Scrooge, Erik Bloomquist as Fred/Scrooge at 30, Natalie Brown as Mrs. Fezziwig/Fred’s Sister in Law, Vanessa R Butler as Belle/Mrs. Fred,Robert Hannon Davis as Second Solicitor/Undertaker, Rebecka Jones as Bettye Pigeon/Spirit of Christmas Past, Hero Marguerite as Mrs. Cratchit,Mauricio Miranda as Mr. Marvel, John-Andrew Morrison as Bert/Spirit of Christmas Present, Patrick O’Konis as Bob Cratchit, Stuart Rider as First Solicitor/Mr. Fezziwig, and Noble Shropshire as Mrs. Dilber/Jacob Marley.
