Book & Lyrics by Charles Leipart
Music by Eric Schorr
London. A snowy evening in early December 1843. A merry holiday party is
in progress at Mr. Pickwick’s rooms, when young Charles Dickens arrives in a
terrible state. The only hand-written manuscript copy of his new Christmas
book, “The Three Ghosts of Christmas,” which is just about to be published,
has vanished! Dickens, in desperate financial straits, is in despair. Pickwick
offers to find the missing manuscript. Pickwick and his manservant Sam
Weller set out to confront a gallery of famous Dickens characters who are
suspects in the theft. Dark and sinister forces are at work. A powerful demon is afoot.
The very existence of Christmas is threatened unless the manuscript can be found!

The Authors recommend the casting of roles be multi-racial with multi-ethnicity to reflect the diverse community that was London in the 1840’s.
