The love story from “Great Expectations” and the ghost story from “A Christmas Carol” are combined with a magnificent pop-rock score in this Dickensian musical spectacular. Estella Scrooge (Rebecca Ann Johnson), a Wall Street tycoon and direct descendant of Ebenezer, travels to Pickwick, Ohio on Christmas Eve to foreclose on The Harthouse Hotel, a haven for the lost, lonely and dispossessed. There she finds herself drawn to the attractive proprietor Philip Nickleby (Broadway star and Ventura native Andrew Samonsky). Directed by the Tony and Olivier Award-winning Director of Les Misérables with music from the composer of Jane Eyre and Daddy Long Legs. Also featuring Amanda McBroom and James O’Neil.
