worried about the kids in the audience?" – 
Rizzo the Rat 
				Why watch this? A 
				classic story with our favorite Muppets in key roles. 
				Plot Summary: 
				This muppet musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale 
				is narrated by Gonzo as Charles Dickens and Rizzo the Rat. The 
				story follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve as 
				he is visited by the ghosts of his former business partners and 
				three Christmas spirits. These spectral visitors show Scrooge 
				his past, present, and potential future, prompting him to 
				reflect on his life and consider a change of heart. 
				Dad's Preview: 
				This is a perfect vehicle to showcase the multitude to Muppet 
				characters from TV's 
				The Muppet Show. The whole gang is here: 
				Kermit, Ms. Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Animal, Sam Eagle. It's a 
				delightful musical trip through the whole story including the 
				ghosts of Christmas and Ebenezer's path to redemption. God bless 
				Michael Caine for his delicate portrayal in the role of Mr. Scrooge.
