Treasure a new holiday tradition with Jim Henson’s Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas! Based on Jim Henson’s beloved television special, this tuneful tale takes us to Frogtown Hollow where Ma and Emmet Otter risk what little they have to make each other’s holiday dreams come true. Featuring a lovable cast of performers with puppets from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, and a toe-tapping score by legendary songwriter Paul Williams, this very merry musical will warm the hearts of a new generation for winters to come!

Also available on demand: The show will be available to rent starting December 17.

In addition, guests 18 and older must present a government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, state ID or a school photo ID. In all cases, the name on your ID must match that on your proof of vaccination.
