Feinstein’s/54 Below, Broadway’s Supper Club,
presents an evening with Paul Williams, Lisa Howard, Cass Morgan, Steven Booth,
Lesli Margherita, Kate Wetherhead, Robb Sapp, Daniel Torres, Stephen Bienskie,
Kevin Covert, Leo Daignault, Kevin Zak,
Jeff Hiller and Sheri Sanders as well as muppeteers Tyler Bunch, Anney Ozar,
David Stephens, Matthew Furtado, Kristin Feeney and James Silson in “Emmet
Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas In Concert” on December 15, 2015 at 9:30 pm (doors
at 8:45 pm). 
The holiday concert features Paul Williams’ songs from the
musical Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas performed by the original cast. The evening is directed by Christopher
Gattelli and produced by Timothy Allen McDonald with music direction by Larry
Presgrove.
Produced in association with The Jim Henson Company, Emmet
Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas (the musical) is based on the book "Emmet
Otter's Jug-Band Christmas" by Russell and Lillian Hoban and the
all-muppet HBO special of the same name produced and directed by the late Jim
Henson. The score features Williams’
songs from the television feature as well as new pieces written for the
theatrical adaptation. Emmet Otter’s
Jug-Band Christmas received its world-premiere at Goodspeed Opera House in
2008- marking the first time Goodspeed had created a show specifically for the
holiday season- and performed for two seasons to sold-out audiences. 
Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas features music and lyrics
by Paul Williams and a book by Timothy Allen McDonald and Christopher
Gattelli. As Christmas approaches in the
world of Frogtown Hollow, Emmet Otter and his Ma can only dream of buying each
other gifts. So when a Christmas Eve talent contest is announced, both secretly
enter, hoping to win the prize money. In a heartwarming twist on "The Gift
of the Magi," Emmet and Ma risk all they have and end up with the greatest
grand prize of all.
