About this show
This is the story of Andrew Carnegie, one of Scotland's greatest sons. The story tells the final moments of his life as he is confronted with his choices. Heaven or hell? A great musical, not to be missed. Born in Dunfermline in 1835 he died the richest man in the world after selling his empire for $480 million.
