Christmas starts early with the Muppets in Nottingham
Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert Live to Film is coming to Nottingham to give the festive season an early start.
Featuring a screening of the film while the musical score is performed live by an orchestra, the tour comes to Nottingham Royal Concert Hall on December 4.
The Muppets perform Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, with Miss Piggy as his wife Emily.
Gonzo, as Charles Dickens, narrates the story with the help of Rizzo the Rat.
Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig, Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim and the famous heckling pair Statler and Waldorf as the Marley brothers.
And of course, there are the human stars as well, led by Michael Caine as the miserable miser Ebenezer Scrooge.
When the grumpy Scrooge receives Christmas Eve visits from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, they show him the error of his self-serving ways.
Though the miserable old man seems beyond any hope of redemption and happiness, the kind and humble Bob Cratchit, his family, and the spirits open Scrooge's eyes – and his heart – to the true meaning of Christmas.
