Don’t be a muppet, get yourself some tickets to see the show in concert.
The Muppet Christmas Carol in concert is back for Christmas 2024, and if you saw the film with a live orchestra last year, you’ll know what a truly magical evening it was.
Although it may seem a little early to be talking about Christmas — we’ve not even had a HEATWAVE! — your future self will thank you for preparing for the holidays so soon.
So, make yourself a marshmallow hot chocolate or perhaps a mulled wine (it is nearly the weekend, after all) and book tickets to see the The Muppet Christmas Carol film with a live orchestra.
The Muppet Christmas Carol is the fourth movie in the Muppets cinematic universe, and it was the first to be directed by the creator Jim Henson’s son, Brian Henson, following Jim Henson’s death.
The plot? If you’re not familiar with A Christmas Carol, the story follows Scrooge, a miserable and stingy moneylender who doesn’t share the joy of Christmas — if you’ve ever heard of someone being called a ‘Scrooge’, this is where it gets its name from.
On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is surprised by the shackled ghosts of his late business partners, Jacob and Robert Marley, who warn him to change his wicked ways or he’ll be doomed in the afterlife. Scrooge is then visited by three spirits: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. It sounds pretty dark (and it is in parts!), but this family friendly movie has a happy ending.
Now, there’s the chance to see The Muppet Christmas Carol film performed with a live orchestra. Here’s how to get your hands on tickets to this unique event.
