"To us Krampus is a character in the same vein as Scrooge or the Beast in Beauty and the Beast," says the musical’s Swedish composer Nils-Petter Ankarblom ... "In our story, it’s Krampus who undergoes the dramatic change, due to the innocence of the two children he kidnaps—children who had done something bad—stealing food—for a good reason," says Carrie Gilchrist, the musical’s book writer and co-lyricist with Ankarblom.
