Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE will be giving fans in 48 cities throughout North America a chance to see their favorite Fraggles live when it goes on tour in 2025. This is the first time that there has been a live touring show based on the beloved franchise. Tickets are now available at fragglerocklive.com.
Performances begin on January 18, 2025, at the Haugh Performing Arts Center in Glendora, California. The show will continue throughout North America, stopping in Las Vegas, Austin, Indianapolis, Ottawa, Akron, Tampa, and more. The show is described as follows: “Gobo, Red, Mokey, Wembley, and Boober Fraggle embark on a quest to find the lost Celebration Stone – an ancient treasure with the power to unite everyone for the ultimate party. Along the way, they discover magic, adventure, and something more memorable and heartfelt than they ever imagined!”
Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE is filled with comedy, dancing, and music that are all hallmarks of the Jim Henson Company. This show includes walkaround versions of the Fraggles, new puppet versions of the Doozers, and even appearances by a giant Gorg. There are also other new puppet creature friends in this show as well. All of these were created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. The new live show is based on Apple TV+’s original series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. The show is interactive, and musical, and includes both new and classic Fraggle songs, immersive effects, and more humorous and heartwarming magic that the Fraggles have been known for over the last four decades.
A first look at the walk-around characters in this show was shared on social media:
“Fraggle Rock is a world of silliness, hope, optimism, kindness, and, above all, FUN! As a lifelong fan, I have loved creating this new stage show for families to experience the joy of Fraggle Rock,” said John Tartaglia, Creative Supervisor for Fraggle Rock at The Jim Henson Company and writer/director of the stage show. “I’ve also enjoyed adding special moments that dedicated fans will love. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Fraggle Rock!”
