A live concert version of a hit Disney film is coming to Glasgow.
Loved by audiences all over the world, The Muppet Christmas Carol is high on many of our Christmas movie watch lists.
Now fans can experience it with its music performed live as the film will be presented alongside a live orchestra in a UK tour.
Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert Live to Film will visit Glasgow's SEC Armadillo on Monday, December 2, 2024.
The Muppets perform Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine).
Gonzo, as Dickens, narrates the story with the help of Rizzo the Rat. The film also features Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig, and Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim.
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.
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”).
Tickets go on sale on Friday, July 12 at 10am.
