Branford, CT, July 14, 2025: The Legacy Theatre, currently celebrating its 5th Anniversary
Season, listened to their patrons and is producing a new family holiday musical that should
satisfy all those that offered input. The new holiday production, Scrooge and Marley, will
premier December 4th. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, July 15th at 10:00am.
Legacy Executive Artistic Director, Keely Baisden Knudsen, “In our first four seasons, we
concluded each year with our adaptation of A Christmas Carol. It’s been one of our best
attended shows. We always listen to our audience, and we received two diverse thoughts from
patrons, 1. Keep doing A Christmas Carol every season – it’s a great family tradition; 2.
Change it up. Maybe do A Christmas Carol on alternating years. We hope that this year’s show
will satisfy both pieces of feedback, as we present a musical prequel to A Christmas Carol,
called Scrooge and Marley. We think those who love A Christmas Carol will be fascinated to
learn the story of Scrooge and Marley in this musical prequel.”
Scrooge and Marley, a charming and illuminating musical prequel to A Christmas Carol is an
entertaining and rewarding look at the young Marley, how he and Scrooge crossed paths,
became business partners and how one man’s ultimate sacrifice is another man’s redemption:
a true holiday classic retold! Based on the award-winning book Jacob T. Marley by R. William
Bennett, this theatrical adaptation is as witty as it is profound. Whether A Christmas Carol is
your holiday tradition or you prefer a varied array of classics, this production is a must-see
and one that will expound upon your experience of the Dickens classic in an unforgettable and
heart-warming way! Tickets tend to sell quickly for the holiday production, so don’t wait!
Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, July 15th at 10:00am, at www.LegacyTheatreCT.org. or by
calling the Box Office 203-315-1901.
