Matthew Warchus, director of A Christmas Carol, said:”For 10 years now this production of A Christmas Carol has been delighting audiences from London and beyond and I am immensely proud of the impact it continues to have on audiences – whether it be their first time seeing the show or one visit of many.
“To now be able to share the joy of this production with the Lowry and its audiences makes this year a truly special one.”
This Lowry visit will be the first time since its premiere in 2017 that the show will be seen in another UK city, the production having reached almost a million people in London, America and Australia.
