The Muppets at London O2 in July: THREE shows – First EVER UK dates, tickets, booking info

They already took Manhattan, now the puppet superstars are heading over here.

Following a hugely successful trio of sell-out shows at the Hollywood Bowl last year, this exclusive European show is the first time The Muppets have ever performed their full live extravaganza outside of the USA.

Miss Piggy said: “I can’t wait to be there to entertain, astonish, dazzle and otherwise gobsmack all moi’s fabulous fans! Wear socks, sweetie, cause I’m gonna knock ‘em off. I will amaze everyone with this first-ever live performance….and, of course, for the official renaming of ‘The MOI 2’ arena.”

Of course, the show will their most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, muppetational, full-length live show yet and the first time they have performed it anywhere in Europe.

Kermit said: “We’re thrilled to bring this first time ever live performance to all our fans in the UK. There’ll be music, comedy, incredible surprises, plus total and complete chaos. In other words: It’s the Muppets! Yaaaay!

“We’ve wanted to do a show like this for a long time, and now—after finally getting all Miss Piggy’s luggage through customs — we have the chance to appear live at The O2 arena!”

Just like the classic TV show and spin-off movies, the live show will also include an array of special guests stars.

The Muppets will also perform sketches from the most beloved and iconic TV moments like Pigs in Space, Veterinarian’s Hospital and Muppet Labs.

Highlights of the show include the fabulous Miss Piggy in a show-stopping musical extravaganza, a rocking musical jam by The Muppets’ legendary house band Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, with legendary drummer Animal.

No news yet on whether the Swedish Chef will be causing kitchen chaos or Fonzie Bear will tell the worst jokes ever, but the resident grumps from the balcony have already warned fans what to expect.

Statler said: “This is gonna be the ultimate ‘Don’t Miss It’ event.”

To which Waldorf added the inevitable punchline: “Yeah, if you don’t go to it, you won’t miss it.”

It’s time to get things started and light the lights… This is what we call The Muppets Take The O2.
