Syracuse Stage

Price: Streaming: $29.99 general admission, $44.99 premium

The Holidays are here and this year Estella Scrooge (like her ancestor Ebenezer) is haunted by three uninvited visitors. In this unique take on a classic story, you'll experience a mix of a few Dickens classic tales brought to life as a lush new Broadway musical.

A hotelier in her hometown of Pickwick, Ohio has defaulted on his mortgage loan and Estella fancies the idea of delivering the foreclosure in person on Christmas Eve. Arriving at Harthouse, Estella discovers that the defaulting party is none other than her childhood sweetheart, Pip Nickleby. With a talented cast and incredible music, you're in for a holiday treat for all ages!

Tickets must be purchased at this link. They are not available through the Syracuse Stage box office, Syracuse Stage credit may not be used, and this is not part of the Syracuse Stage subscription series.

The Holidays are here and this year Estella Scrooge (like her ancestor Ebenezer) is haunted by three uninvited visitors. In this unique take on a classic story, you'll experience a mix of a few Dickens classic tales brought to life as a lush new Broadway musical.

Estella Scrooge is a young Wall Street tycoon with a penchant for foreclosing. A hotelier in her hometown of Pickwick, Ohio has defaulted on his mortgage loan and Estella fancies the idea of delivering the foreclosure in person on Christmas Eve. Arriving at Harthouse, Estella discovers that the defaulting party is none other than her childhood sweetheart, Pip Nickleby. With a talented cast and incredible music, you're in for a holiday treat for all ages!
