Not sure why they changed the name from Puppet Up, but THIS is where Henson and Muppets belong: the big apple!

Seems like they changed the name for marketing reasons. Maybe they found the word "puppet" in the title turned people off, maybe they wanted a fresh start so that audiences knew this wasn't a rerun of previous Puppet Up material, maybe the Puppet Up title is legally tied to different backters, maybe they just liked this name better. Whatever the reason, this looks like good stuff. I hope they travel to San Francisco. We'd love this!

I'm guessing it's just a new "theme" the latest shows are built around; like a different opening number mainly plus new sketch categories, puppets, etc. Same format but new elements to keep it fresh.

Wow

Puppet Up coming to NYC under a new name at the Union Square theatre. That's interesting, and it's arrival date of St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) makes it good material for a birthday present for a very important person, the person is question of course being myself, I'll see if I can get my wife to arrange this as a birthday present. :smile:

Me and the folks are gonna try to see one of the shows in either April or May.

I've always wanted to see one of the Henson Puppet Improve shows on stage!
