Merry Muppet Christmas with movie and live orchestra
FANCY getting in the Christmas spirit with a classic Disney film with a difference?
Disney's The Muppet Christmas Carol film and accompanying live orchestra will be screened – in high definition – at Sheffield City Hall on Tuesday, December 2 for a very different family Christmas treat.
The 1992 Christmas musical film , accompanied by a live orchestra, will tour across 15 venues in the UK this winter starting in York on November 21 and concluding in Swansea December 9.
The Muppet Christmas Carol sees the puppet gang perform the heart-rending Charles Dickens Christmas classic tale, with Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine).
And no Muppet film would be complete without Miss Piggy – who plays Bob’s wife Emily Cratchit – Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig, and Robin the Frog playing Tiny Tim.
Gonzo will narrate the Dickens' classic along side Rizzo the Rat.
The films follows the original Dickens' novel, where Scrooge receives visits from the spirits of three Christmases – past, present and future – who decide to educate Scrooge and show him the error of his ways.
The original score was composed by Miles Goodman (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Little Shop of Horrors) with songs by Oscar®, Emmy® and Grammy®-winning songwriter Paul Williams (Rainbow Connection, Evergreen).
The event, in the Oval Hall at Sheffield City Hall, will start at 7pm and tickets are priced starting from £37.50 plus booking fee.
