      Ebenezer Scrooge is in the business of Christmas, and what a business it is…  After skulking back to his Coromandel bach on Christmas Eve to count the profits from the sale of his barely edible Scrooge Co. Christmas hampers, Scrooge discovers that this year he has some uninvited guests for the festive season. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future and Patrick Swayze are here to scare up some good old fashioned Christmas spirit and you’re invited to the party!

      Join Gareth Williams as Scrooge and a revolving cast of stars of the stage and screen as they gather together to unwrap the secrets of this timeless Christmas tale told with The Basement’s typical disregard for copyright.

      Has the Mad Butcher sizzled his last sausage? Can Kate Sheppard atone for the secrets of her herstory? Will John Campbell get to the bottom of this very current affair? And just how many diseases can Tiny Tim take?

      From the writers of last year’s smash hit MegaChristmas comes another irreverent, sing-a-long spectacular to tickle your funny bone and remind us all of the true meaning of the festive season: getting plastered and laughing at pop culture references.

      (M) Recommended for mature audiences.

      Starring Gareth Williams as Scrooge.
      And featuring David Farrier, Rose Matafeo, Kimberley Crossman, Michael Hurst, Bree Peters and many many more.
      Written by Nic Sampson and Barnaby Fredric
      Music by Joseph Moore
      Directed by Sophie Roberts
      Designed by Simon Coleman

      Join us for a POPDining Christmas dinner on the 13th of December for their take on a kiwi Christmas feast, an edible expression of A Basement Christmas Carol.  Because of the experimental nature of this event we may not be able to cater to all dietary requirements. See The Basement website for a menu closer to the time.  PLEASE NOTE that only POPdining ticketholders can enjoy the feast from 6:30pm, but there is also an option to purchase 'Show Only' tickets to this 8pm performance.
