Scrooge (U) Live To Film: Dates, Cities & Tickets

"Scrooge (U) Live To Film"

Step into a world of holiday wonder and cinematic magic with the 1951 classic Scrooge, starring the legendary Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge. This beloved Christmas tale of redemption and goodwill is brought alive in a brand‑new way with the enchanting sounds of a freshly orchestrated live score, performed by the intimate three‑piece FB Pocket Orchestra. Their reimagined music, complete with atmospheric sound effects and flawless synchronisation, deepens every moment as Scrooge encounters the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, immersing you fully in his transformative journey.

For families, holiday date nights, or festive gatherings with friends, this heartwarming event marries the magic of a Christmas classic with the joy of live orchestral performance, creating an unforgettable experience of cinema and sound. The score, originally composed for the film by Richard Addinsell, is no mere accompaniment; it provides the structural and emotional framework that articulates character, atmosphere, and transformation. Through meticulous transcription from the original film soundtrack, Paul Stevenson has reconstructed the score by ear, re‑establishing its orchestral colour, balance, and drama so that for the first time the music can be performed live in its entirety.

Released in 1951, Scrooge remains a landmark black‑and‑white retelling of Dickens’ story, continuing to resonate with audiences for more than seven decades. Rated U, it offers a perfect introduction to classic cinema for younger or tentative viewers.
