“This year we had our very first snowfall and it was so beautiful”: Gobo on The First Snow of Fraggle Rock

“This year we had our very first snowfall and it was so beautiful”: Gobo on The First Snow of Fraggle Rock

Written by Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson, The First Snow of Fraggle Rock follows the holiday season as it takes hold at Fraggle Rock and the excitable Fraggles start to prepare for all their festive traditions. However, when only a single snowflake falls, Gobo (John Tartaglia) feels uninspired to write his yearly song, and it casts a damper on their yuletide spirit.

When Uncle Travelling Matt gives Gobo the chance to travel to the human world, which the Fraggles refer to as Outer Space, he starts to reignite his musical passion when he meets new human friends, has a magical time and even writes some songs with acclaimed singer LeLe Pons (who makes a cameo appearance), also facing her own writer’s block. The two of them join forces and reimagine a classic duet called Our Melody from the original Fraggle Rock series, and this newfound creativity puts Gobo in a better headspace upon his return, where the season soon kicks off with heartfelt celebrations and reawakened joy.

The Upcoming had the pleasure of speaking to Gobo about all the fun he had in the human world, the fun traditions the Fraggles have and the way he learnt to take inspiration from the simple things in life.
