As a lifelong fan, I have loved creating this new stage show for families to experience the joy of Fraggle Rock,” said John Tartaglia, Creative Supervisor for Fraggle Rock at The Jim Henson Company and writer/director of the stage show. “I’ve also enjoyed adding special moments that dedicated fans will love.
