On Christmas Eve in modern-day Chicago, Ebenezer Scrooge is a man running on empty. Twenty years after the death of Jacob Marley, the love of his life and former business partner, Scrooge has become trapped in a cycle of grief, isolation, and regret. As he contemplates ending his own life, Marley appears with a final warning: unless Scrooge confronts the truths he has spent decades avoiding, he may follow the same tragic path that claimed Marley.

Guided by a trio of unconventional spirits, Scrooge is pulled through the defining moments of his past, from the exhilaration of first love and the dreams of building a life together, to family wounds, hidden truths, and the devastating consequences of silence. As old memories resurface, Scrooge must decide whether his future will be dictated by loss or transformed by hope.

Featuring a score of beloved holiday songs, I Love You, Ebenezer Scrooge is a heartfelt reimagining of Dickens' classic that centers queer love, found family, and the enduring power of choosing life in the face of despair.
