The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert

About the Show

Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol will be presented live in concert this winter, with its musical score performed live to the film.

This is the third time the classic film will be presented to audiences across the UK following its premiere in 2021, with Broadway World calling the show ‘…the ultimate festive escapism.’

The Muppet Christmas Carol sees The Muppets perform the classic Charles Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Gonzo, as Dickens, narrates the story with the help of Rizzo the Rat. The film also features Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig, and Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim.

Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases – past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

The original score was composed by Miles Goodman (Dirty Rotten ScoundrelsLittle Shop of Horrors) with songs by Oscar®, Emmy® and Grammy®-winning songwriter Paul Williams (Rainbow ConnectionEvergreen).
