Marley's Ghost is to A Christmas Carol as Wicked is to The Wizard of Oz.
---Modesto Bee


"It doesn't matter if you are bound for purgatory, as long as you keep Christmas in your heart, that will be one part of your anatomy that is roasting chestnuts over an open fire, and not the other way around."

Before Ebenezer Scrooge learned the true meaning of Christmas, another old miser was haunted by the ghosts of his past, present and future. What happened to Jacob Marley, in the seven years since his untimely death, that could convince him to sacrifice everything to save the one man he despises most?
