Jim Henson's Fraggles Embark on a New, Out-Of-Their-World Adventure Exclusively at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
Fraggle Rock™: A Space-y Adventure brings beloved characters to life in a new musical, educational live show full of fun for the whole family
CAPE CANAVERAL, FL, UNITED STATES, November 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and The Jim Henson Company announce Fraggle Rock™: A Space-y Adventure, a new, original live show debuting Monday, December 22 at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The exciting, on-stage adventure will bring Jim Henson’s Emmy® Award-winning Fraggles face-to-face with NASA’s real-life space explorers.
In this first-of-its-kind collaboration, the beloved Fraggles venture from their magical underground caves on a journey to discover the wonders of today’s NASA. Following a mysterious postcard all the way to Florida’s Space Coast, Gobo, Red, and making his live stage debut, Uncle Travelling Matt, arrive at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and meet a member of the Exploration Ground Systems crew, who is essential to every NASA mission. Together, they embark on a musical, comedic quest to learn about NASA’s Artemis missions and humanity’s next giant leap to the Moon, even talking with a real astronaut from the International Space Station.
“Fraggle Rock: A Space-y Adventure celebrates the joy of discovery and the spirit of curiosity that has always defined the NASA story we share here at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex,” said Therrin Protze, COO, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. “We’re honored to partner with The Jim Henson Company, known for its innovation, imagination and storytelling for young audiences and families, to create a show that will inspire dreamers of all ages to look up, explore, and picture their own place among the stars.”
“Families are in for a real treat when the magic and wonder of Fraggle Rock arrives at the legendary Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Fans of all ages will be able to see Uncle Travelling Matt, Red, Gobo and Cotterpin Doozer live and in person,” said John Tartaglia, the new stage show’s director, writer, and choreographer, and The Jim Henson Company’s Creative Supervisor for Fraggle Rock. “Fraggle Rock has always embraced the idea that anything is possible when we work together and celebrate our interconnected world, and NASA is such an incredible example of that idea. With our Fraggles and Doozers meeting new friends from NASA, there will be music, comedy, and so much to explore!”
The production features full-body costumed “walkaround” versions of the Fraggles and puppet versions of the Doozers all crafted by the award-winning Jim Henson’s Creature Shop™. Through laughter, music, and physical comedy, the new production blends Henson’s timeless storytelling and artistry with the awe-inspiring science of space exploration.
Audiences will learn that everyone, no matter how big or small, can make a difference in the universe.
Included with admission, Fraggle Rock: A Space-y Adventure will be performed twice daily at 12:30 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. in the Universe Theater at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Throughout Holidays in Space, December 21-30 (closed December 25), the visitor complex will also host a special character breakfast featuring the stars of Fraggle Rock: A Space-y Adventure, offering guests an unforgettable opportunity to meet favorite Fraggles up close, enjoy themed menu items, and capture out-of-this-world holiday memories.
Fraggle Rock: A Space-y Adventure is written, choreographed, and directed by John Tartaglia (Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock).
