THE MUPPETS CHRISTMAS CAROL
(Please note these screenings are now sold out)

Join us for this magical Christmas tale with fantastic songs, music and comedy from your favourite muppets including Miss Piggy, Beaker, Swedish Chef and Fozzie Bear!

In this adaptation of ‘A Christmas Carol’, the story is narrated by Charles Dickens himself (Gonzo the Great) with the occasional commentary of Rizzo the Rat.

It is Christmas Eve in 19th century London. The merriment is not shared by Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine), a surly money-lender who is more interested in profit than celebration. So cold to the season of giving is he that his book-keeping staff, including loyal employee Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog), has to plead with him just to have the day off work during Christmas!

Later that evening, Scrooge finds himself face to face with the still mean-spirited ghosts of his former business partners, Jacob and Robert Marley (Statler and Waldorf) who have been condemned to shackles in the afterlife as payment for the horrible deeds they committed in life. Nonetheless, they warn him that he will share the same fate, only worse, if he doesn’t change his ways, and foretell the coming of three spirits throughout the night.
Will the visits from the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future be able to show him enough to encourage Scrooge to change his ways?
Or will he continue to spread his gloom and misery over others and face a terrible afterlife?
