"Boy, that's scary stuff! Should we be
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.
