Matthew Warchus’s award-winning A Christmas Carol, adapted by Jack Thorne, will return to The Old Vic for a ninth consecutive year this festive season.
The show, which was originally intended to be a one-off when it debuted in 2017, will run from November 12, 2025 to January 10, 2026.
Warchus, the show’s director and The Old Vic’s artistic director, said: “It is a testament to the impact it has on our audiences, with each successive production proving evermore popular and breaking successive box office records. It’s great to be welcoming so many new audiences each year, as well as those who embrace it as their festive tradition.
“Jack Thorne’s superb script, in this joy-filled production, continues to delight and inspire audiences and delivers a message which feels as important as ever. Not only is this evidenced in the popularity of this version, but also in the ever-increasing charity donations from our audiences through the post-show bucket collection.”
Since 2017, the production has raised more than £1.9m, which goes directly to food poverty and deprivation-focussed charities.
Tickets for the 2025 production will go on general sale on Thursday, March 6 at 10am. Further details: oldvictheatre.com
