Young Charles Dickens Tickets

Young Charles Dickens is a charming bio-musical rooted in the story of the beloved author. Created by Barbara Zinn Krieger (book & lyrics) and Charles Greenberg (music), the show draws inspiration from Deborah Hopkinson's A Boy Called Dickens. The production blends warm storytelling with lively music-hall–style numbers, making it an engaging family-friendly experience in New York City. The show first premiered in 2015 and returned for an encore in 2016 at Theatre Row (Theatre Five) in NYC, under the direction of Josh Penzell (2015) and Andrew Frank (2016).

Though public recognition has arrived in the form of a 2016 Off-Broadway Alliance Award nomination for Best Family Show, Young Charles Dickens remains a fixture of accessible, educational theatre for young audiences and their families. While 2025 tour dates aren’t listed, the production is documented as a 2015–2016 NYC engagement, with NYC City Children’s Theater (NYCCT) focusing on current seasons and future family programming. Secure your seats when a new opportunity is announced, and explore the world of Dickens through song, storytelling, and stagecraft.
