Best Musical Ever: ‘Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas’ Coming to the Stage

Christmas in May: The Jim Henson Company announces that classic 1979 Muppet special Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas is being adapted into a stage musical. Paul Williams, who wrote the score for the original, will add new songs, and Tony-nominated South Pacific choreographer Christopher Gattelli will direct. News comes as no surprise to careful readers who saw Gattelli bragging about the project in his Playbill bio, but who can blame him? This is, no lie, the best theater announcement in a long time; we're looking forward to seeing the Riverbottom Nightmare Band in its full glory.

1. This is sure to be an abomination

Every year they stomp Henson's corpse a little further into memory and the ground.

3. I loved that as a child!

A couple of years ago at Christmas time I was in Best Buy to get something and it was in the holiday dvds. I freaked out in the store and snatched it up. My hubby thought I was mental!

My parents were so happy to see it.

What can be better than memories of happy childhoods at Christmas?
