ABOUT THE SHOW

Dickens’ classic gets a hip hop makeover. A Christmas treat for all ages. 

This bright and bold adaptation of A Christmas Carol is brought to life by east London born and raised choreographer Dannielle ‘Rhimes’ Lecointe, Associate Artistic Director of ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company (Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, Some Like It Hip Hop). With original music from Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante (Boy Blue, The Effect), you’ll be grooving the whole way home.

Blending hip hop, comedy and physical theatre, this is the perfect Christmas treat for the entire family.

A ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company and Sadler’s Wells production
