I was just talking about the main puppet in the auction, not Gonzo. But I can only imagine how much Gonzo would cost to make.

The Smithsonian Museum of American History has puppets of Oscar and Kermit and possibly Bert and Ernie.

WHOA! It's at $520 now! That's probably more than that puppet cost to build! I'm guessing Jarrod is singing "I'm in the Money" right now... :)

That's too bad. I've had a lot more luck with getting people to appreciate the art. The Hamlet/Godfather project is going a video. I'm hoping to make it the longest project (I'm picturing it to be just under 40 minutes). Much more theatrical and serious (with comic relief, of course) than the...

YES, I'm a huge advocate of "A puppeteer is an actor". People don't understand that there is more to it than moving a mouth from behind a table (even if Audrey II really is, in all actuality, a large mouth that needs to be moved up and down). When I was talking to one of my friends about...

Interesting. At our school, we have a continual actor-techie war go on (don't believe me? Look up "Tech Fu" or "Hat Deflector" on YouTube) so the two of us were never deemed members of the crew. I'd still say of the 6 shows I've done in high school, Little Shop was the most rewarding experience...

Sort of, I auditioned to be the body of the plant in my school's production of Little Shop this past year and our director unexpectedly chose someone else. I was depressed as heck for like a month afterward (and bear in mind the cast list came out the Monday before Christmas, what a gift...

I think it's a very nice tribute myself.

Didn't even catch that! Sneaky sneaky! :concern:

No, he doesn't sell his Muppet replicas for legal reasons. But I can't help but be interested in money orders either... when job hunting gets done that is. ;):excited:

Moishe: Sounds like a plan, there are many trees that look like forks around here! We'll never know where we're going! Keep walking, Sam, we're stuck here for a while, get used to it.

I'm assuming the Brooklyn Academy of Music theaters, the same ones where the Legacy event was 5 years ago.

Moishe: (to Sam) I would.. on a good day. But a good day never comes for an oofnik! And we like it that way. As for you Gonzo, eh, why don't you go ahead and row upstream... get thinks done quicker, or slower as I would hope. (muttering under breath) I left Rechov Sumsum for this... bah...

Thought I'd pass this on: http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=1367 Muppets 201 is a completely new program not part of the Muppets, Music & Magic tour and Craig Shemin will be hosting both screenings and is attempting to get a second person to come along for the ride (Frank Oz, Austin Pendleton...

Moishe: Bah! I don't want to win, we grouches don't like that too often. Sam, Sam, my friend, why don't you go back a raft for us, you look muscular and big enough! Beh-heh!

Big update! http://coryscuriosities.blogspot.com/2009/06/pushing-boulder-up-hill.html Well, it looks like for the first time in 10 years, we're finally getting a movie from Henson that we actually want to see made (*cough* Good Boy! *cough* MirrorMask *cough*) come to the big screen. :coy: The...

Well, knowing my director [as I've said before], she probably plans on having a younger sibling of a cast member play the Joey. I have no idea how she would plan on handling the elephant-bird but I'm 99.9% sure Vlad will be a human actor. But please do tell about these fish (my knowledge of...

Interesting. Well, knowing our director, she'll probably have Joey role filled in by a human actor played by any cast member's younger siblings. But in the first place anyway, the Joey isn't exactly a kind of role I'd be willing to take on, since being performed by an independent puppeteer is an...

Yeah, I'm really not going to petition and bombard my director with the request to get those puppets into the show. She knows me well enough at this point that I can just mention it in passing and hope she can think of a solution. I like the ideas here, but I'm not gonna be depressed if they...
