Do we need to speak German?

Yes. The voices are live and in German, with no English version. Kids who know the Dickens story can follow the puppets, but younger ones may lose the thread.

Is it too scary for a 6-year-old?

The three ghosts and the scene where Scrooge sees himself die alone can be spooky. Little Tim is also seriously ill. It ends warmly, with Scrooge cheerful and helping others.

What if we arrive late?

After the show starts, the theater lets people in only at the intermission. Aim to be there well before curtain.

Where do we pick up tickets?

The box office opens 45 minutes before each show. Advance sales are at the side of the building, Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 1pm.

Marley's ghost warns Scrooge, then three spirits show him his past, a family Christmas happening now, and a lonely future. Some moments are sad or spooky, including a sick child and Scrooge's own death, and the ending turns warm. Scrooge wakes up changed.
