Did You Know?
Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE is a brand-new stage musical from The Jim Henson Company based on its Emmy-winning Apple TV series. Learn a bit more about the company and the show. Then take a moment to watch the show trailer together.
- From Sesame Street and The Muppet Show to The Dark Crystal and Fraggle Rock, The Jim Henson Company has remained an established leader in family entertainment for over 70 years and is recognized as an innovator in puppetry, animatronics and digital animation.
- Unlike in the TV series, the Fraggles in Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE are portrayed by real-life humans inside large-scale walk-around puppets. Stay after the show to meet them!
- Fraggle Rock has always focused on fostering peace by appreciating diversity and empathy. The 1983 series was revived 39 years later in the Emmy Award-winning Apple TV series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock ↗, which inspired the stage musical.

Create a themed invitation! Grab paper and some colorful writing utensils, and work with your kid to design invitations for all your guests that scream the party’s theme. Is it a purple popcorn party? A ping pong pizza party? A plaid popsicle party?
-

Make a plan! Work together to prepare a menu of snacks, some basic decorations and a playlist of songs for the best dancing.
-

Party on! Whether you’re welcoming a bunch of guests or just partying as a family, enjoy your perfect mix of theme, bites and tunes.
Throwing a celebration can be exhausting, but the Fraggles do it every day—they only work 30 minutes a week! So get some rest, because tomorrow’s another party.
Talk About It!
As you make your way to the theater, get your kid in a Fraggle-y mindset with some show-themed conversation starters! Ask them:
- What qualities make a good group of friends?
- Plenty of things are worth celebrating, big and small. If you had to throw a celebration today, what would you celebrate and who would you invite to celebrate with you?
- What comes to mind when you think of puppetry? What kinds of puppets have you seen before?
- Do you have a favorite item or object? If this object was magical, what kind of magic would it possess? Maybe it could make a whole roomful of people sing or make presents drop from the sky when you’re sad!
