Joining steele in the principal cast are: Barry Howard as Jacob Marley, Sarah Earnshaw as the Ghost of Christmas Past and James Head as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

The musical version by Leslie Bricusse - whose other major musicals include Stop the World - I Want to Get Off, Pickwick and Doctor Dolittle - was originally a 1970 film starring Alec Guinness and Albert Finney. The show was famously staged in Birmingham in 1992 when Bricusse's long-time collaborator Anthony Newley took the title role.

Scrooge was last at the Palladium in 2005, again starring Steele, who has played the title role more than any other actor over the years.

Completing the cast are: Craig Whitely, Leonie Heath, Halcro Johnston, Edward Handoll, Robbie Towns, Tessa Vale, Leon Kay, Anna McGarahan, Louisa Maxwell, Ian Caddick, Steven Sparling, Johnathan Dudley, Nikki Gerrard, Roisin Sullivan, Natalie Moore Williams and Kieron Harris.
