About the movie

The Muppet Christmas Carol is a musical adaptation of Charles Dickens's story where Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine) is visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve, who show him the past, present, and future to convince him to change his miserly ways. The Muppets, with Gonzo as the narrator Charles Dickens and Kermit the Frog as his clerk Bob Cratchit, act out the story of his redemption, culminating in Scrooge embracing the Christmas spirit and transforming his life. 

This event is a fundraising event for Wonderseekers.
