Miracle On 34th Street
📅
Wednesday 13 - Sunday 17 November 2019
Joseph Rowntree Theatre, Haxby Road, York YO31 8TA
Miracle on 34th Street is a Christmas musical fantasy based on the film of the same name. The stage version follows the same storyline as the film only with amazing songs to complete the adventure.
The musical is based in Macy's, the world famous department store in New York. Just before the Macy's Thanksgiving parade a stranger arrives and saves the day by taking the part of Santa Claus in the parade. He was so convincing that the store asked him to play the part in their Christmas Grotto, but a young girl who does not believe in Santa Claus at all sees something in this old gentleman. "What's your name?" she asks. "Kris Kringle" he replies. "Where do you live?". "The North Pole". She suspects something is not right.... but what?
Rumours start to fly that he is just a crazy old man, insane or, in fact, the real Santa Claus.
As this fantastic musical unfolds you have to decide... DO YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS, OR NOT. Only you can decide, but we can promise you at the end you can EXPECT A MIRACLE.

Scrooge The Musical
📅
26 November - 1 December 2019
Grand Opera House York
FESTIVE FAMILY FUN WITH SCROOGE THE MUSCIAL!
Say goodbye to Bah! Humbug and get into the festive spirit with Pick Me Up’s big winter show of 2019 - Scrooge The Musical.
Based on Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas Carol, Scrooge tells the tale of old miser Ebeneezer on the night he’s visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come.
Can he be turned from sourpuss to saint? What will happen to Tiny Tim? Will everyone have a merry Christmas after all? Come and find out in this all-singing, all-dancing (all-flying!) musical for the whole family.
Bricusse first adapted A Christmas Carol for the 1970 film musical Scrooge! starring Albert Finney. He was nominated for an Academy Award for the score and the song Thank You Very Much.
Mark Hird (whose previous Pick Me Up roles include Captain Mainwaring in Dad’s Army, Colonel Pickering in My Fair Lady and Uncle Fester in The Addams Family) plays Scrooge, Rory Mulvihill (Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady, Sergeant Wilson in Dad’s Army and Captain Teri Dennis in Privates on Parade) is the jolly Ghost of Christmas Present, and Alan Park plays Scrooge’s long-suffering clerk Bob Cratchit.
The show is directed by Robert Readman, choreography is by Iain Harvey, and the musical director is Sam Johnson.
Grand Opera House York November 26-December 1. Matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
