EBENEZER is a one-act musical based on A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The music is a blend of hip-hop and traditional Christmas carols. The adaptation is suitable for performance by adults or teens alike. Four of the lead roles take on the greatest musical challenge with their rap numbers, but the choir parts are more generally accessible as they are based on familiar carols, making the musical appropriate for colleges, high schools, middle schools, church groups, and community theatre groups.
This libretto contains the full play script and vocal sheet music. Purchase of this libretto kit entitles the purchaser to reproduce the appropriate number of copies for the cast and crew of the production. Please note that royalties must also be paid for each performance (visit https://www.SamuelStokesMusic.com for royalty information). The musical is scored for 2-part choir and rap soloists with MP3 accompaniment tracks (available separately). If desired, the musical can also be performed with unison choir singing the melody only. There is the also the optional opportunity for two violins to perform onstage and for a percussionist to play the chimes offstage (MP3 tracks are also available for these underscoring cues).
The musical demo available on this page is an excerpt from the number Jacob Marley - O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, in which Ebenezer Scrooge's former partner returns from the dead to warn him that he must change his ways or suffer the fate of eternally roaming the earth in chains.
