My favourite musical adaptation of a Dicken's novel is Scrooge (1970); Albert Finney won a Golden Globe for his playing of Ebenezer Scrooge. I think the dancing on the coffin scene "Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me"
is an effective musical translation of the pawnbroker scene in the novel, and on a par with the joyful march of the Munchkins ("Ding! Dong! The witch is dead!") in the film adaptation of "The Wizard of Oz".
