Description

It’s only a few more sleeps till Christmas on this episode of Nightcaps at the Theater. Get out your puppets and put away your humbugs because YAAAAAAY we are watching 1992’s The Muppet’s Christmas Carol, just in time for the holidays. All your favorite Muppets Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Rizzo, and Michael Caine are here with a unique Henson/Dickins twist. Stop by Fozziwig’s Rubber Chicken Factory, drink and be merry! However, don’t dawdle and be a Scrooge, if so, you might just be visited by three spirits, each set upon teaching you the error of your ways. So, cook the plump Christmas, goose. Listen, and know us better men! God bless us…everyone. (Insert Statler and Waldorf laugh)
