The Muppets Take the O2



The Muppets Take the O2 is a live stage show starring the Muppets performed at the O2 Arena in London, England on July 13 - 14, 2018 (with a matinee and evening performance on the 14th). The show is a follow-up to 2017's performance at the Hollywood Bowl, reprising many of the same acts.

Highlights include performances by Miss Piggy and Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, along with new sketches of Pigs in Space, Veterinarian's Hospital and Muppet Labs.

Bobby Moynihan returned as the main guest star of the show. Special guests in the concerts include Kylie Minogue, Kevin Bishop, David Tennant, Adam Hills, Peter Davison, Anthony Head, Charles Dance, and music group Steps. Tennant, Minogue, Head and Bishop were only present in the Friday evening show, while Hills, Davison and Steps were a part of the Saturday performances.

The show was written by Kirk Thatcher, Jim Lewis, Andrew Williams and Matthew Barnette, who all wrote the previous show at the Hollywood Bowl.
