Dec 4-6, 2026. Enjoy a magical twist on a timeless tale with Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert Live to Film! The DSO brings this heartwarming holiday classic to life, performing Miles Goodman’s original score live alongside the movie. Join Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily and Gonzo as Charles Dickens himself as they retell Charles Dickens’ classic story. When the grumpy Ebenezer Scrooge receives Christmas Eve visits from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, they open his eyes — and his heart — to the true meaning of Christmas.
