If you’ve been looking for an excuse to “dance your cares away” without a stroller, and the chance to be a kid again, this nostalgic musical is for you. This June, the New Victory Theater is flipping the script on its family-friendly reputation to host two exclusive Grown-Up Nights for the brand-new musical, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE.
For two nights only—June 12 and June 17—the theater is ditching the juice boxes in favor of a sophisticated, nostalgia-fueled party in the heart of Midtown.
The Vibe: Puppetry Meets Mixology
While Fraggle Rock is a world-class production for all ages, these 7:00 PM shows are specifically curated for the “Silly Creatures” who grew up with Jim Henson’s magic.
- The Show: This isn’t just a puppet show; it’s a masterclass in artistry from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. From classic hand puppets to larger-than-life walk-around Fraggles and Doozer wizardry, the scale of this production is designed to impress even the most cynical New Yorker.
- The Drinks: In a rare move, the New Victory has partnered with Hell’s Kitchen favorite Hold Fast Kitchen & Spirits to serve “Fraggles on the Rocks” cocktail alongside wine and beer inside the theater.
- The After-Party: The celebration doesn’t end when the curtain falls. Flash your ticket at Hold Fast (364 W 46th St.) after the show for a discount on a second round of themed drinks.
