In the first-ever live musical Fraggle Rock touring show, Gobo, Red, Mokey, Wembley and Boober discover the legend of the Celebration Stone – an ancient Fraggle treasure with the power to bring everyone together for the greatest party of all time. After the gang learns that the stone was shattered and lost generations ago, they set off on an adventure to unite the lost pieces, discovering magic they didn’t even know existed along the way.
Written and directed by John Tartaglia (“Avenue Q” and “Shrek the Musical”), this show features walk-around versions of the Fraggles and a variety of puppet creatures from the acclaimed Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Fan-favorite songs, special visual effects, audience interaction, heartwarming moments and hilarious new characters all are part of this family-friendly production.
