A Christmas Carol, was written by Charles Dickens in 1843 and from 1857 on, he performed public readings of this holiday classic. He toured A Christmas Carol throughout England and the US. His readings were so popular that people camped overnight in the streets to buy tickets. In Washington D.C., President Andrew Johnson had tickets for his family every night. A newspaper wrote at the time, “He gave to every character a different voice, a different style, a different face.” We have endeavored to bring this spirit to life with the M&M version, recreating Charles Dickens tour of the US in 1867.
