Christmas Carol Goes Wrong in the West End and on tour – first look photos

Mischief has released production shots for Christmas Carol Goes Wrong, currently on stage at the Lowry in Salford.

The show sees the return of the fictional Cornley Amateur Dramatic Society, last seen bringing mishaps to The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About Spies. The group will attempt to stage Dickens’ A Christmas Carol while managing missing actors, set problems and disagreements over casting.

The Salford run ends tomorrow, 8 November, and the show will then head to Cheltenham Everyman Theatre (11 to 16 November), the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff (18 to 22 November) and Theatre Royal Bath (25 to 30 November), ahead of its West End run at the Apollo Theatre (6 December to 25 January). There will be a gala performance at the Apollo on 14 December.

Following this, it is scheduled to visit Nottingham Theatre Royal (27 to 31 January), the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury (3 to 7 February), the Edinburgh Festival Theatre (10 to 15 February), the King’s Theatre in Glasgow (17 to 22 February) and the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury, where the tour finishes on 1 March 2026.

Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, the production is directed by Matt DiCarlo. The cast includes Matt Cavendish as Max, Daniel Fraser as Chris, Sasha Frost as Sandra, Chris Leask as Trevor, Lewis as Robert, Sayer as Dennis and Greg Tannahill as Jonathan. Nancy Zamit and Dumile Sibanda share the role of Annie. The understudies are Alex Bird, Will Bishop, Siobhan Cha Cha, Colm Gleeson and Ashley Tucker.
