The Muppet Christmas Carol score to be performed live at York Barbican
A live orchestra will perform the score of Disney's The Muppet Christmas Carol at York Barbican this November.
The York Barbican performance forms part of a UK-wide tour, which will see the orchestra perform the musical score alongside a screening of the complete film.
The original score was composed by Miles Goodman, and its songs were penned by award-winning songwriter Paul Williams.
The film, based on Charles Dickens' story, follows Scrooge's transformation after visits from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.
Kermit the Frog plays Bob Cratchit, the clerk of Scrooge (who is played by Michael Caine).
Gonzo, as Dickens, narrates the story, with the help of Rizzo the Rat.
The film also features Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig, and Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim.
The York Barbican performance will be on November 21.
