Don’t miss this member-only screening of The Muppets Take Manhattan in the Sculpture Garden.

Broadway bound, the Muppets take Manhattan by storm in this magical musical! Fresh out of college, Kermit and friends head to New York City to turn their musical Manhattan Melodies into a hit—if they can just find someone to produce their show. But when no one in town will even meet with them, it’s up to Kermit to keep the dream alive.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the screening will begin at roughly 8:00 p.m, or dusk. Please enter through the Ronald S. and Jo Carole Lauder Building entrance at 11 West 53 Street. Advance registration is required and capacity is limited; reservation admits two and is nontransferable.
