Muppets Meet the Classics: The Phantom of the Opera Summary

Muppets Meet the Classics: The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

The mash-up is a fun, unexpectedly gripping meld of the Muppets' sensibility with an engrossing tale of love and jealousy. -Entertainment Weekly

There's no bones about it: young readers will get a taste of the classic in a fun and humerus way (wocka wocka). -Kirkus

The fabulous wardrobe. The glorious sets. The hordes of back-up singers. The sheer grandeur and over-the-top theatricality of opera. It's the perfect setting for moi . . . and it's a gangbuster story, too. -Miss Piggy for InStyle

What do you get when you cross the Muppets and the classics? A monster hit! Join Kermit, Miss Piggy, Uncle Deadly, and the other Muppets as they bring this gripping tale of mystery and suspense to life in their own hilarious way.

This classic tale of love, intrigue, and jealousy at the Paris Opera House, which has thrilled readers, musical lovers, and movie goers for more than a century, has now been reimagined with the cast of the Muppets. Readers will gasp, cry, laugh, and laugh again as Kermit (as Raoul), Miss Piggy (as Christine), Uncle Deadly (as the phantom), and the chickens (as the ballet corps) give a whole new meaning to the word classic. This imaginative tale is sure to win the hearts of all Muppets fans, as well as fans of literary classics.
