The Jim Henson Retrospectacle Live in Concert



The Jim Henson Retrospectacle Live in Concert is a live concert that closes the three-week Jim Henson Retrospectacle in Wellington, New Zealand. The concert is scheduled for April 27 and 28, 2018 at the Michael Fowler Centre (with two matinee and evening performances).

The concert will be hosted by Bret McKenzie, backed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The show will feature songs from various Muppet productions, both well-known and "a couple of rare deep cuts for the hardcore Muppet fans moshing at the front." The concert will also feature Muppet characters from The Muppet Show, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock.

McKenzie is co-writing the concert with Craig Shemin. Chris Caswell will serve as music director.
