About the Show
Whoopee! Dance your cares away with Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober and Red in Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE, a brand-new stage musical from The Jim Henson Company based on the Emmy Award-winning Apple TV series. The legend of the lost Celebration Stone promises untold party potential—if the Fraggles can find it! Their beloved world bursts to life with walk-around versions of the Fraggles, puppet-sized Doozers, new characters and even a visit from a larger-than-life Gorg, all from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Charming and colorful, this nostalgia-filled adventure welcomes Silly Creatures young and old to the raucous revelry down in Fraggle Rock. 👏👏
"A wonderful evening filled with joy and laughter"
Looking to bring the kids?
Four weeks of Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE performances on the weekends and during school breaks mean there are plenty of opportunities to invite the whole family. There will also be a Sensory-Friendly Performance on June 7 at 5pm.
