I came across this web link for a theatre site that says they have Muppet Sets. http://www.roanoke.com/extra/wb/37447 This is the only real Muppet part of the article worth reading, the rest is about the theatre itself in Virginia. "...The bottom floor of the warehouse is crammed with old...

Well that pay is an approximate amount only for SS, not other productions. Union contracts are written based on the 8-hour work day. So if you are in three scenes working three different Muppets during the day while taping a show, it still counts as 1-day of pay. Perhaps because SS is a...

Well there's emotional damage. You can call a Muppet fuzzy face and I'm sure they'll suffer emotional damage. :concern: Gonzo's been called 'Buzzard Beak" by Piggy. :o Fozzie's been heckled and I'm sure that has caused emotional damage too! They might be damaged emotionally for life! Just...

Very true Bear that the show is non-profit, but the performers are union members who periodically get raises. I'm not sure but I think daily minimum is $700 a day. (Then deduct about 30% tax from the paycheck as well.) Sounds great at first, but not when you only do possibly 25 shows a year...

This makes a lot of sense GelflingWaldo. I see... They are trying to establish themselves all over again. Still when did we ever think we would read the words; "however Henson is trying to distance themselves from the Muppets right now." How weird that sounds, but how true!

Every situation I have encountered concerning a cold reading the script is provided to you when you arrive. I’ve never seen the script given to a performer for the first time when they get on camera. You can be called in to the audition room and given a script there to read instantly, which...

You would think that when lawyers were drawing up contracts for the Henson kids to sell the Muppets to Disney, they would have included some kind of clause that the Henson kids would have had Disney permission to show Muppet archive clips and to showcase Muppet characters at Henson related...

Also brother and sister Sherry and Jeff Weiser (I think I spelled their last name correctly) played the Dodo kids. I was told that it's rare for a mom to have two children and have them both come out midgets, (little people.) Sherry, I last saw on the TV show "Regis and Kathy Lee", she was...

Here's a nice picture I spotted online of kermit with some cheerleaders while he was in Kermit, Texas. http://english.donga.com/srv/service.php3?bicode=020000&biid=2005101785488

Ah thanks for pointing that out. I missed that.

Paul Williams was there. Former Good Morning America host David Hartman. The cast of Sesame Street are all I can think of. I wish they would release the entire Jim Henson Memorial Service since it was videotaped. Either it's in the Henson archives or Disney's archives. (Because at the time...

I wonder if this Danny fellow is the Muppeteer Jim Henson fired for forcibly trying to promote himself to the media that he was Big Bird and not Carroll Spinney.

What you say about the xmas special makes a lot of sense. It's way to late to start such a special when you take into account scheduling, filming, editing, marketing, etc.

If you look at the topics in this forum you see that Jerry Juhl just past away.

You know I was wondering about this too. On the link provided it states: Disney Consumer Products Russell Hampton Executive Vice President, Global Home, The Baby Einstein Company, LLC and The Muppets Holding Company, LLC Was Chris Curtin the Vice President of 'Disney Consumer Products'...

If you're referring to those that have auditioned recently (including Yerrid and Massey in Los Angeles.) You haven't taken into consideration some that auditioned in New York which were awesome that just might land those jobs. Also the final decision hasn't been made, and we haven't seen what...

I agree 100%. As a matter of fact, the USA is trying to pass a law starting I believe Dec. 31 that it will be mandatory to travel with a passport. As wacky as this sounds, you can leave the USA now to the Carribean without a passport, but come Dec. 31 you might be denied entry back into...

I can't even make them out since they're so small, but I would imagine they have been published in some Henson book in the past. To bad there isn't a larger picture of those background dedication pictures to examine closer. If we could only make them out, I would imagine someone would have a...

The following is writer Chris Barry's afterthoughts after attending the Jim Henson Company's 50th anniversary celebration at NYC's Museum of Television & Radio. He called his story:"Fraggles overshadow Muppets at Henson Company's 50th anniversary celebration."...

Thanks for that link WasOnceErnie. These two sites have pictures as well, but unfortunately they are only thumbnail size. (One has to be a paying member of the websites to see them full size.) :( http://filmmagic.com/ItemListing.aspx?cgl=140092&evntI=0...
