Photo Recap: The Muppet Scriptmas Carol

The Muppet Script returned with THE MUPPET SCRIPTMAS CAROL, a live celebration of the written word behind one of the Muppets’ most beloved films. While the Muppets are often remembered for their colorful fleece-and-foam characters, this event put the spotlight where it all began: on the page. Before appearing on screen, the Muppets first returned to the writers’ room, where scribe Jerry Juhl drew inspiration from Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, transporting the gang to merry old London in the 1800s. The film marked the Muppets’ first without creator Jim Henson and was directed by his son, Brian Henson, and featured the return of Paul Williams, whose songs helped create a soundtrack as timeless as Dickens’ original novel.

The performance raised funds for One Simple Wish, an organization dedicated to amplifying the voices of individuals impacted by foster care and crisis through meaningful, often simple wishes. Support from the evening helped One Simple Wish continue its work with over 2,000 social service agencies and nonprofits across the United States, ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and loved.
