Step into a world of Christmas magic! Ebenezer Scrooge embarks on a wondrous journey guided by the spirits of Christmas past, present, and future. Along the way, he discovers the joy, kindness, and celebration that make the season so special. This enchanting musical is packed with sparkling songs, spectacular dance numbers, and heartwarming moments for the whole family.

With colourful sets, festive cheer, and a touch of holiday wonder, this vibrant production brings a fresh, playful twist to the classic tale. Perfect for children and adults alike, it’s a joyful adventure full of laughter, music, and the magic of Christmas.

Performances will run from Monday 30^th November to Tuesday 15^th December 2026, with a mix of morning performances for schools and evening shows for the general public.

School performances will offer a unique enhanced experience, including interactive workshops led by BOA students before or after the show (depending on the day). Evening audiences can enjoy a festive pre-show atmosphere, featuring a seasonal gallery and live choir performances in the academy’s atrium, alongside festive refreshments.

This production is entirely student-led, showcasing the exceptional talent across the BOA Group. Students from BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy will take responsibility for set design, props, costume, hair and make-up, as well as lighting and sound. The on-stage ensemble will be formed of students from BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts Academy.

The production’s creative team is formed of experienced BOA staff from across both academies, further strengthening this exciting collaboration. From BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy, the team includes Maddy Scott (Head of Production), alongside Dan Roblin, Ceridwen Gale Brown and Luke Johnson. Representing BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts Academy, Georgie Meller will serve as Director of Musical Theatre, joined by creative team members Daniel Summers, Beth Jones, Tim Harding, Alice Scott, Lucy Lowe and Darcey Luscombe.

Kate Tague, Chief Executive of the BOA Group, said “This year’s production is incredibly special as it marks the beginning of a new BOA Christmas tradition. Bringing our academies together in this way allows our students to collaborate across disciplines, creating something truly ambitious and inspiring. It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to experience the full scale of professional theatre-making, and we are so excited to share this magical production with our audiences.”

James Latham, Principal of BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy, said “It’s great to see our academies coming together to bring this year’s BOA Christmas production to life. With BOA Creative students taking to the stage and BOA Stage and Screen students working behind the scenes, this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase their creativity, skill and talent. Experiences like this help our students build confidence, develop professional expertise and discover the true value of collaboration in a real production environment. Opportunities like these are what make BOA such an inspiring place to learn.”

Alistair Chattaway, Principal of BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts Academy, said “The joy of producing a Christmas show is a longstanding BOA tradition and all at BOA Creative are thrilled to be working with BOA Stage & Screen Production again on this latest venture.  I am thrilled that BOA Creative’s post-16 students will offer workshops to younger students, which will not only deepen the audience’s enjoyment of the production but also provide valuable teaching and leadership opportunities for BOA students.”
