"Tim and Scrooge" to Open at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford

“Tim and Scrooge” is the holiday show at the Westchester Broadway Theatre (a dinner/theater) in Elmsford this year, beginning on December 3 and running through December 27, 2015.

This is a sequel to Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” The story picks up 12 years later — Scrooge has died and unbeknownst to Tiny Tim as the play begins, he has inherited Scrooge’s company Scrooge & Marley Counting House. Complications arise and Tiny Tim, now nearly 21 years old, gets some much needed assistance from Scrooge’s ghost.

Composer Neil Berg was also the composer of the musical version of “Grumpy Old Men,” a play based on the classic movie that starred Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Book and lyrics are the work of Nick Meglin (former editor of Mad Magazine).

Songs include A Woman’s Place, Humbug, Nothing More, Separate Paths, Surprise, The Business of Business and The Way It Was.
