Muppet Madness 2023
Fri, Apr 14 – Mon, Apr 17
We’ll be honest, we’re not big sports fans here at The Brattle… but we do love a good marathon! For a little bit over a decade now, we’ve had a tradition of running a marathon of Muppet movies on the weekend of the Boston Marathon. This year, for the first time since 2019, we’re going all out and offering 5 fantastic—and fantastical—Muppet movies on the big screen! If you don’t have the time for a 10-hour commitment, don’t worry! Individual tickets will be for sale as well.
