The holidays might feel far away, but for fans of The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), the festive season is already starting, as the beloved holiday classic will once again be gracing theaters in the UK as The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert returns once again.

Set to bring joy to fans in cities like London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, the live concert series will feature a screening of the full movie, accompanied by a live orchestra performing the original score. It’s a magical experience that pairs the charm of the Muppets with the power of live music.

Adapted from Charles Dickens’ classic “A Christmas Carol,” the film stars the Muppets in all the roles, with Michael Caine playing the merry-less miser Ebenezer Scrooge.

The film has become a staple of the holiday season, with many fans considering it one of the best adaptations of Dickens’ work.

Until the live concert version opens its doors from November 21, fans can relive the film on Disney+ or check out an extended cut with the beloved song “When Love Is Gone.”

But for those looking to experience the magic of The Muppet Christmas Carol like never before, make sure to grab tickets to this extraordinary holiday event.

In The Muppet Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas story gets a whimsical, puppet-filled twist. Kermit the Frog takes on the role of Bob Cratchit, the long-suffering clerk employed by the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, played by the ever-charismatic Michael Caine. Gonzo steps into the shoes of Dickens himself, narrating the tale with his usual flair, while Rizzo the Rat adds his comedic touch as his sidekick.
