Now through January 5th, the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood is presenting a special engagement of Disney The Muppets. We were invited to check out the festivities which include not just the movie but also a special holiday pre-show with a live appearance by Kermit and Miss Piggy.
After the film, there's the special exhibit downstairs which includes actual sets and props from the film and a collection of Miss Piggy's actual costumes from the film. Next door at the Disney Soda Fountain and Studio Store the celebration of the Muppets continues with the Muppet What-Not Workshop and special Muppet Party dinners on select nights.
As always, all performances at the El Capitan begin with live music on the restored pipe organ. Rob Richards playing classic tunes.
Jingle bell bracelets have returned to the El Capitan and are a fun way to bring more holiday cheer during the special Muppets Holiday pre-show.
Our holiday host begins singing classic holiday tunes and is joined by none other than Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. They lead the audience into a sing-along of classic holiday carols and of course those jingly bracelets come in handy.
While supplies last, if you're seeing the film at the theater you can also check in on Four Square and get a pin just like the one above! Inside the theater, you can also pick up special plushies with your popcorn and soda purchases. You can also donate $2 to Variety's Kids and receive a Green with Heart of Gold keepsake. Birthday parties hosted by the El Capitan can also be arranged.
