Disney's Muppet Christmas Carol with live orchestra coming to Scotland 

Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol is coming to Scotland for two shows this festive season with a live orchestra.

The festive classic will be presented this winter live in concert on a UK-wide tour, featuring a screening of the film with its musical score performed by an orchestra.

It will be playing at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on November 26, and Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on November 27.

The Muppets perform Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge played by Michael Caine.

Gonzo, as Dickens, narrates the story with the help of Rizzo the Rat. The film also features Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, Fozzie Bear as Fozziwig, and Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim.

The original score was composed by Miles Goodman with songs by Oscar-winning songwriter Paul Williams.
