Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer Return to Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Fresh from their run in the US, original Mischief members Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer are set to return to Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at Wyndham’s Theatre for two weeks only, from 14 to 23 January 2027.

Original Mischief company members Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer will swap their Los Angeles surfboards for UK scarves and mittens to reprise the roles they originated last year in Christmas Carol Goes Wrong for two weeks only at Wyndham’s Theatre. The production returns to the West End from 18 December, with the pair joining the company from 14 to 23 January 2027.

From The Play That Goes Wrong creators Mischief, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong sees the Cornley Amateur Drama Society return to tackle Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The Cornley crew battle miscommunication, delays to their set, actors missing in action and a growing feud over who will play the lead. This disastrous take on the much-loved story of Ebenezer Scrooge is a festive slice of pure escapism.

The show played to sell-out houses when it premiered at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue last year and it returns to the West End this festive season, running at Wyndham’s Theatre, from 18 December 2026 to 23 January 2027.
