John was interviewed recently about the role and how much he loves both the original book as well as the many stage and screen adaptations over the years, "I've loved this story since I was a kid and so I know the story really well. I've read the book more than four or five times over my life and I watch it every single year. There's lots of versions of it...and my favourite one as a kid used to be Albert Finney, the musical one...To play Scrooge is just an honour really." Watch the interview in full.
Many shows are already sold out, but there are a last few tickets still available for some performances. On until 4th January 2025.
