VR Theatrical's A Christmas Carol Returns This Festive Season

TV’s Zak Hendrikz to Star as ‘Scrooge’ in the Return of A Christmas Carol for 2024

The holiday season shines brighter in 2024 with the much-anticipated return of A Christmas Carol. This beloved classic, which has delighted audiences for seven consecutive years, is back to enchant both Cape Town and Johannesburg from November 27th to December 14th, 2024 in both cities. With a limited run, this year’s engagement promises to be more magical than ever before.

This heartwarming adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless story is a celebration of humanity, family, and the spirit of generosity. Audiences can expect a sensory delight for any tired soul, with innovative storytelling, vivid animation and spectacular performances from the dedicated cast.

Afrikaans star Zak Hendrikz, currently starring as Du Toit Fourie in Kelders Van Geheime (2024) and known for his roles as Riaan in Die fantastiese verdwyning van Charlie Prins (2023) and Werner Visagie in 7de Laan, will take on the iconic role of Ebenezer Scrooge. With a career spanning musical theatre, film, and television, Hendrikz brings a wealth of experience to this role, making him the definitive Scrooge for 2024. His impressive résumé includes productions like Little Shop of Horrors (Fleur de Cap and Naledi Award Nominee), Grease (International Tour), Into the Woods (Naledi Nominee), and The Rocky Horror Show. Hendrikz has also starred in the Netflix original series Shadow and the film adaptation of Ballade vir ‘n Enkeling.

Joining him is the talented Angela Sparks, who masterfully plays all the other beloved characters, bringing Dickens’ Victorian London to life with her remarkable versatility.

This production has been playing to sold-out audiences for the last 6 years and will be on the boards this November and December. It has been described as ‘a sumptuous banquet for the eyes, ears and imagination; a sensory delight for any tired soul.’ This is the perfect show to celebrate humanity, family and above all, generosity of spirit!
