Muppet Christmas Carol screening with live orchestra coming to Manchester

One of the best-loved Christmas films will be screened alongside a live orchestra here in Manchester to create the most magical experience for families this December.

We’ve not had Halloween yet but we know the Christmas countdown is just around the corner as seasonal gifts and decorations fill the aisles of shops and festive dates have already come flooding in.

It’s almost that time where we check the TV schedule, plan what to watch and get in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year.

The Muppet Christmas Carol, from 1992, will undoubtedly be watched by millions of households again this December as families settle in together on their sofas while the weather outside is frightful.

This Christmas film is a version of the Charles Dickens classic starring Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside a whole cast of Jim Henson’s Muppets.

The cuddly musical cast includes the likes of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Rizzo the Rat and co.

The movie tells the classic tale of Ebenzer Scrooge, a cold-hearted miser disliked by many and who is visited by three spirits who walk him through moments throughout his life from the past, present and future.

They reveal his best kept secrets and show him what his future could hold if he continues on the path he is taking, as he realises his wrongs and changes his ways.

The Muppet’s movie version of this Dickens novel holds many laughs and lovely moments told in the style of a musical and millions enjoy watching it year in and year out.

If that includes you, then how would you fancy watching this wonderful musical but alongside an incredible orchestra live in concert? 

Well, The Muppet Christmas Carol is coming to The Bridgewater Hall, in Manchester, this December to do exactly that.

The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert is touring the UK starting from late November and Manchester is one of the lucky cities it will be stopping off at – with our city having the closest date to Christmas Day.

It would be a different way to watch the seasonal favourite and would make for a perfect festive treat to see with family and friends.

The event will feature a screening of the Christmas classic with award-winning composers Miles Goodman and Paul Williams and their magical musical score performed live to accompany it.

The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert will perform at The Bridgewater Hall on December 20th at 3pm. Tickets are now on sale and cost between £34-£70.
