SOMERS POINT – Gateway Playhouse has added an extra Sunday matinee performance to the successful run of their holiday show “Scrooge the Musical” 2 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21. The show on Sunday afternoon will be the last opportunity for audiences to see what the South Jersey Theatre Critics have called “a must-see.”
Based on Charles Dickens’ beloved “A Christmas Carol,” “Scrooge the Musical” brings the timeless holiday tale to life with warmth, humor and unforgettable music by Leslie Bricusse. The story follows miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on his magical Christmas Eve journey, complete with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, as he discovers the true spirit of the season. Lively songs, dazzling dance numbers and heartfelt moments fill this festive holiday classic.
“Scrooge the Musical” is directed by Chip Garrison, who directed the Gateway’s past two holiday shows, “White Christmas” (2024) and “A New London Christmas Carol” (2023). The cast includes Nathan Moore playing the title role of Ebenezer Scrooge, and Scott Friedman as his overworked and underpaid employee Bob Cratchit.
tickets for “Scrooge the Musical” are $35 for adults and $15 for kids 12 and under at GatewayByTheBay.org and at the Karen S. Sutherland Box Office.
Tickets are also on sale now for the Gateway’s all-musical 2026 MainStage Season, which includes: “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” “Jesus Christ Superstar,” Guys and Dolls,” and “9 to 5: The Musical.” Gateway Playhouse is located at 738 Bay Ave., Somers Point.
