(Alt for Sky and Sarah-Gonzo and well spoken chicken)

Nathan Detroit-Kermit

Abridged nare-do-wells:

Nicely Nicely-Fozzie
Benny Southstreet-Rowlf
Rusty Charlie-Gonzo

Also thinking that Chorus Line, Gypsy and Chicago would be fab with Muppets...but what wouldn't?

About West Side Story I also wanted to see the pigs fight against the frogs, and have Kermit and Piggy be Tony and Maria.

Hey, what about Muppets in Avenue Q! It ain't that big of a stretch!

 

[TravellingMatt]

Now that I think of it, Sam might make a TERRIFIC Mushnik in LSoH, where he finally discovers his inner performer. He'd be a great Judge Turpin in ST...but for some reason I always saw Uncle Deadly in that role. And Wayne as the Beadle...well, just about everything else happened to him...

How about a cast for Grease? As much as I think Floyd would be a great Kenickie, we'd need the entire band in the orchestra pit for that one.
