Melina Pellicano, director and librettist in the adaptation of the musical wanted to be as faithful as possible to the novel because the writing of Dickens is already very theatrical.

Old Ebenezer Scrooge, after the death of his business partner Jacob Marley, continues to run his business with cynical greed shunning all human relations and starving his unfortunate employee Bob Cratchit. Scrooge hates Christmas and not even the invitation to dinner of his grandson can make him change his mind. On the night of Christmas Eve, he receives a visit from the ghost of his deceased partner Jacob Marley who announces the visit of three spirits. The spirit of past Christmases shows him the mistakes of his past life, the spirit of present Christmas makes him see the happiness that Christmas generates, while the spirit of future Christmas shows him his horrible fate if he does not change the life he now leads. After the visit of the spirits Scrooge wakes up on Christmas morning deeply changed in soul, will finally open his eyes to feelings of generosity and love. From now on, you will never miss Christmas and you will never miss an opportunity to do good.

Scrooge makes a transformation, an important change on Christmas Eve.

Christmas can be an occasion to stop and reflect, a time to make a positive change. It becomes an opportunity for a courageous act of transformation, which each of us would like to do, but which we often forget.
