The show features an original score written by the musical legend herself (although, alas, she doesn't perform any songs herself) and the classic Christmas tale is relocated to the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserable owner of a mining company town, who is can not see the joy of Christmas through his greed.

Yet, just like in the original, this miser is visited by three Christmas ghosts who set about rearranging his moral compass for the better.
