Emmet Otter ' s Jug - Band Christmas ( stage show ) Jim Henson ' s Emmet Otter , originally titled " Jim Henson ' s Emmet Otter ' s Jug - band Christmas " , is a live - action stage musical adaptation of the 1977 television special " Emmet Otter ' s Jug - Band Christmas " . The show first opened on December 7 , 2008 at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam , Connecticut and ran until January 4 , 2009 . The show was developed by Goodspeed Musicals and the Jim Henson Company . The show returned to Goodspeed for the 2009 - 2010 season ; running from December 5th to January 3rd . The production features a mix of live actors and stage puppets built and refurbished by the Jim Henson Company . Paul Williams returned to write four new songs just for the stage adaptation , and finished " Born in a Trunk " which he originally started for the television special . In addition to the extra songs , other changes were made in adapting the musical from the television special . Some are minor , such as merging Yancy Woodchuck with the fruit stand owner ; while the most significant update is that of a framing device added by way of two new characters , Russ and Jane , a contemporary father and daughter who read the storybook together one Christmas Eve . In a move similar to " The Wizard of Oz " and " Labyrinth " , Jane ultimately finds herself within the context of the story itself . Another new character is Madame Squirrel , something of a leader for the acrobatic squirrel characters that appeared in the special ( they themselves having been upgraded to more scenes for the stage version as well ) . Opening night of the show included attendees Jane Henson and Jerry Nelson ( Nelson having been the original puppeteer for the title character ) , and the Goodspeed Opera House went on to honor Paul Williams with the Goodspeed Award for Outstanding Contribution to Musical Theatre in 2010 . For the second run of the show , the show ' s title was changed , and shortened , from " Emmet Otter ' s Jug - band Christmas " to " Jim Henson ' s Emmet Otter " . The script was slightly reworked for this run : instead of Jane becoming a part of the story , she remains a separate character . " Trust " , a new song written for the stage version , was rewritten to be sung by Emmet instead of Jane , although Jane sings a reprise of the song during a brief fantasy sequence when she tries to leave her house only to encounter the squirrels . To replace a moment in the original script where Jane gives up her spot in the talent contest to allow Alice to sing , a new character " John Deer " was created , who only manages to get on the stage before becoming frightened by the spotlight and running away . A majority of the original cast members and puppeteers reunited for a one - night only concert at 54 Below on December 15 , 2015 , with Paul Williams and Marilyn Sokol in attendence . The script was further modified to completely removed Jane and Russ ' s subplot , though Kate Wetherhead ( Jane ) participated in the performance as the narrator . Original Cast .
