Live music in Boone County, MO

At Jesse Hall & Auditorium in Columbia, MO, Jim Henson’s Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Live presents a brand-new musical stage adventure filled with songs, humor, and imagination. Inspired by the Emmy-winning series, the production invites audiences on a nostalgic trip to Fraggle Rock with walk-around Fraggles, pint-sized Doozers, a towering Gorg, and other fantastical puppet creatures crafted by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Fan-favorite music and lively visual effects create an upbeat atmosphere for attendees of all ages. A pre-show VIP experience is available, offering a meet and greet with the Fraggles, a photo in front of a Fraggle Rock backdrop, and exclusive keepsakes including a VIP poster and button. VIP guests check in at the Concert Series table.
