Disney is going all in on the Muppets after tearing down the Muppet Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Now the Muppets are appearing on Broadway with magician Rob Lake for the holidays!
The show, Rob Lake Magic With Special Guests The Muppets, will run at the Broadhurst Theatre beginning on October 28 and continuing through until January 18, 2026.
Rob Lake was known for his appearance on America’s Got Talent back in 2018, and since has gone on to tour with is act all around the world. He also worked as the creative consultant and illusion designer for Adele’s residency in Las Vegas.
Lake isn’t new to Broadway, having worked on the illusions for Death Becomes Her. Now he is getting his own Broadway show with Kermit the Frog and the Muppets!
This is a dream come true for Lake. He offered this statement to Playbill,
“I’ve been performing magic my entire life, and it has always been my greatest dream to perform my show on Broadway. Like so many people around the world, I grew up with The Muppets. To work with them and create new illusions for them to appear in my show has been the most rewarding and surprisingly familiar moment. It’s like I have known them my entire life.”
I would be excited too. Broadway and the Muppets!
The show promises to be “A powerhouse of magical innovation”
“Rob Lake raises the curtain (and a few people) on the most magnificent stage of all—Broadway! One of the world’s most celebrated illusionists brings his signature brand of mind-blowing magic and awe-inspiring storytelling to New York City for a strictly limited engagement…
With never-before-seen surprises and a different celebrity appearance at every show.“
Rob Lake Magic With Special Guests The Muppets is being produced by Rob Lake Productions, Joe Quenqua, and Glass Half Full Productions. It is being executive-produced by Wagner Johnson Productions.
