I'll be playing percussion instruments and keyboards for both shows. Sorry for the late reply, I meant to get back to you sooner. There are 22 musicians (including myself) in the West Side Story orchestra, and 13 for Seussical. It's going to be cramped, but fun nonetheless!

Two absolute classics with Grover, from 1973 and 1977. I also thought of two segments with Elmo (circa 1988-91).

Thank you very much @muppetgem ! I usually don't get written feedback from other users, so it's nice to see that people enjoy what I write. I want to restate something I told @sesamemuppetfan a while ago on this thread: "I own the SS Old School 1 & 2 DVD sets and have watched them multiple...

Look closely above Betty Lou's head and Ernie's shoulder in this classic SS photo. Is that whitish thing a human hand holding up one of the puppets?? I just noticed it from Tough Pigs' most recent article. Kinda ruins this picture for me a bit to be honest.

The love child of Wembley Fraggle and one of the Gills Brothers. That plush doll sells like hotcakes.

Any Steely Dan fans out there? I watched this TV special from 2000 and it's pretty awesome. There's a tight rhythm section, a smooth horn section, and a smoking trio of backing singers (in more ways than one). Many hits like "Peg" and newer songs like "What a Shame About Me." Plus, some wry...

In my opinion, the 1990s were pretty good for SS. The cast and puppeteers were very seasoned by this point (e.g. Bob McGrath and Caroll Spinney), and there was new talent as well (e.g. Annette Calud and Savion Glover). As mentioned, there was a good blend of modern cartoons and old-school...

I listened to the soundtracks from West Side Story and Seussical. I'm going to be working as a musician for a local theater company this summer, and they're performing these shows in July and August. It is an honor and pleasure for me to do this...there's nothing I love more than making music...

Chicago is a great city! Did you go to see the Bean? It's that famous reflective sculpture that's shaped like...well, a bean. It's a huge tourist attraction. Chicago has great pizza, too...but they make great hot dogs as well! If I recall, a Chicago dog has yellow mustard, relish, a dill pickle...

The big question is: was he hitting them on the head with a giant mallet, and were they singing "Lady of Spain"? PS It's Marvin Suggs, no L. "Thank you, thank you, gracias, and thank YOU!"
