Henry Shields and Allie Dart join original UK cast of Mischief's CHRISTMAS CAROL GOES WRONG

We have been warned by MISCHIEF that most of the original UK cast, plus co-writer Henry Shields and Allie Dart, will perform in Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at Manchester Opera House (17-21 November), Portsmouth’s Kings Theatre (24-28 November) and at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles (12 December -10 January). Prepare for a theatrical catastrophe like no other this Christmas!

The full cast responsible for the chaos this Christmas in these three venues includes: Matt Cavendish as Max, Allie Dart as Annie, Sasha Frost as Sandra, Henry Lewis as Robert, Chris Leask as Trevor, Jonathan Sayer as Dennis, Henry Shields as Chris, and Greg Tannahill as Jonathan.

The understudies are Matthew Biddulph,  Siobhan Cha Cha, Orla O’Sullivan, and Josh Patel-Foster.

The performances in Manchester and Portsmouth are part of the show’s second UK tour, which begins in Bromley on 27 October and continues to bring a cacophony of chaos and Christmas cheer around the country until 7 March 2027.

The cast is yet to be announced for the remaining tour venues and for the production’s West End run at the Wyndham’s Theatre, which begins on 18 December and runs until 23 January.

The North American premiere sees Mischief return to the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, where Peter Pan Goes Wrong shocked audiences in 2023.  Alongside the Australian production in the Gold Coast and Sydney, this will be the first time yuletide mayhem has attempted to be performed outside the UK. 

The cast for the show in Australia (Hota in the Gold Coast from 4-12 December, and at Sydney Opera House from 17-29 December)  is also yet to be announced.

 Written by original Mischief members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is directed by Matt DiCarlo, who also helmed the award-winning The Comedy About Spies which is on its second mission at London’s Adelphi Theatre where it is running until 26 September.

The creative team joining the authors and director are set designer Libby Todd,  costume designer Roberto Surace,  lighting designer David Howe, and sound designer and composer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite.
