The Muppets are back. And so is the Muppet Vault.
There are so many parallels between the Muppets and the Muppet Vault. They both took some time off (the Muppets haven’t been in theaters in 12 years, the Vault has been away from Brooklyn for 5 months). They both have appeared in other mediums in the meantime (the Muppets on TV, the Vault in Beacon, NY). They both, um, have Muppets in them. And they’re both back in action this November!
Join us on Sunday, November 20 at 2pm for Muppet Vault: A Very Muppet Comeback! We’ll be celebrating the new movie just a few days before its official premiere. As always, there will be drink specials, rare Muppet videos, trivia, and prizes! All that and more for just $8, which is like half of a movie ticket these days.
Among the special screenings will be the very bizarre, very rare, and not-to-be-missed “The Muppets Go Hollywood“, hosted by Dick Van Dyke and Rita Moreno, filmed to help promote the Muppets’ first film, The Muppet Movie. So you can see the connection, ya see.
The Vault will be held at Union Hall, located at 702 Union Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. The venue is near the 2,3,4,D,N, and R trains. So many options! Union Hall has a fully-stocked bar, food options, fireplaces, a library, and two bocce ball courts. And on the 20th, they will also have Muppets.
Space at Union Hall is very limited, so click here to pre-order your tickets and guarantee a spot for prime Muppet viewing.

In addition to the Muppet Vault, we’re also pleased to announce the ToughPigs Group Screening of The Muppets! Easily the most popular question we’ve gotten in the past few months is whether or not we’ll be getting people together for the new movie. And the answer is a resounding “Yes”!
Our ToughPigs scientists have crunched the numbers and decided that the optimal time and location for a group screening is on November 23 at 7:00pm at the Regal movie theater at Union Square in New York City (at 850 Broadway, between 13th and 14th Streets, close to a dozen different subway lines). Click here to pre-order your ticket at Fandango to guarantee your spot! We’ll be meeting outside the theater at 6:30 to share our excitement and make sure we all sit together. Because there’s no better way to see a Muppet movie than with the best Muppet fans in the world!
