Scrooge the Musical

One of Scotland’s favourite music stars Marti Pellow is set to star in Scrooge The Musical as it takes over SEC Armadillo in Glasgow between 12 December 2026 and 10 January 2027 for a limited 5-week run. A perfect Christmas gift for Marti Pellow or musical theatre fans out there, presale tickets to Scrooge The Musical will be available to Marti’s fans on 12 November and venue subscribers on 13 November, with general on sale on 14 November.

With music career spanning pop, jazz and soul, star roles in huge hit musical theatre productions on the West End (Chicago, Evita, Chess, The Witches of Eastwick, Jekyll & Hyde), consistent chart-topping album and singles, a record for the longest Number One in UK chart history – and even the White House proclaiming a day be named after him! – Marti Pellow is a true renaissance man whose uncompromising dedication and passion for music made him the star that he is today.

This new challenge, and return to music theatre, brings him home to Glasgow, working with one of the UK’s leading theatre directors, the award-winning Thom Southerland, whose credits include Titanic The Musical, Noel and Gertie, The Illusionist, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and many others. Thom has been nominated for four consecutive Evening Standard Awards. He has won Best Director 2011 at the Off West End Awards for Me And Juliet at the Finborough Theatre. Amongst others, his Southwark Playhouse productions of Parade, Titanic, Grand Hotel and Mack and Mabel won many awards, with Titanic receiving both the WhatsOnStage and Off West End Awards for Best Production. His work has been produced in London and the USA and has subsequently transferred internationally.

Scrooge The Musical is a joyful musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ beloved A Christmas Carol.  The musical extravaganza was created by legendary British composer and lyricist, Leslie Bricusse, who adapted and expanded his own score for Ronald Neame’s 1970 film for the stage. One of the classic Christmas family musicals, the delightfully festive score includes “Father Christmas”, “December The Twenty Fifth”, “Thank You Very Much” and “I Like Life”.
