A Christmas Carol – On Air!

About this event

A Holiday Classic… With a Hilarious Twist!

Step back in time to Christmas Eve, 1949 , when a live studio audience gathers for WNBC’s annual Christmas Eve radio broadcast of Charles Dickens’ beloved A Christmas Carol .

There’s just one problem—the star-studded cast that was supposed to perform has suddenly disappeared!

Now, the WNBC General Manager must pull together a cast from whoever is still in the building—including a priest who hosts a local talk show and the plumber who was called in to fix some frozen pipes. What could possibly go wrong?

As this unlikely group of radio amateurs races to save the broadcast, chaos takes over! Missing script pages, questionable accents, hilariously misplaced sound effects, and plenty of unexpected mishaps make for an evening of nonstop laughs.

But somehow, this merry band of misfits manages to pull it together and deliver a heartwarming and hilarious rendition of Dickens’ timeless holiday classic.

Performed as a “live” 1940s-style radio broadcast, A Christmas Carol – On Air features:

📻 Live sound effects

🎶 Holiday music from the era

📺 Vintage commercials

🎼 Live musical underscoring

😂 Plenty of holiday hilarity!

Whether you’re a lifelong fan of A Christmas Carol or simply looking for a fun new holiday tradition, A Christmas Carol – On Air is sure to fill even the Scroogiest Humbug with Christmas cheer!
