FRAGGLE ROCK Comes to State Theatre New Jersey
Performances are April 26 at 1pm and 5pm.
State Theatre New Jersey will present Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE on Saturday, April 26 at 1pm and 5pm. Jim Henson's musical, fun-loving Fraggles are dancing their cares away across North America and coming to STNJ for the first-ever live touring show based on The Jim Henson Company's beloved franchise.
Based on the award-winning Apple TV+ original series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (recipient of this year's Emmy for Outstanding Children's or Family Viewing Series), this all-new, family friendly live stage adventure will feature vibrant new walkaround versions of the Fraggles, new puppet versions of their gearhead friends the Doozers, and visits from a giant Gorg as well as exciting new puppet creature friends—all built by the renowned Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Written and directed by John Tartaglia (Avenue Q, Shrek the Musical, Stephen Schwartz's The Secret Silk), the interactive live musical will feature both new and classic Fraggle songs, eye-popping immersive stage effects and all the hilarious, heartwarming magic that has kept Fraggle Rock captivating generations of audiences for over 40 years.
