Museum of the Moving Image to Host Jim Henson Musical Tribute

Fans of Jim Henson’s imaginative worlds have two chances to celebrate the visionary’s 90th birthday this September in New York. The Museum of the Moving Image is set to host "Jim Henson’s Harmonious Hoopla," a limited-run musical revue featuring iconic songs and puppetry from across the legendary creator’s storied career.

The performances are scheduled for September 24 and 25, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Produced by The Jim Henson Company and Heather Henson, the show brings together a cast of veteran performers, including Jordan Brownlee, Aymee Garcia, and Leslie Carrara-Rudolph. Accompanied by a live band and original puppets from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, the trio will revisit musical highlights from Fraggle Rock, Labyrinth, and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas.

Directing the production is John Tartaglia, known for his work on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, with musical direction provided by Paul Rudolph. Tickets are currently available through the museum’s website, with discounts offered to MoMI members. The event serves as a centerpiece for the institution's birthday commemoration, promising an evening that blends nostalgia with live theatrical performance.
