I found these on Youtube.

I must admit, I am really impressed by them! It looked like a really fun stage show! Another cool thing about it was the audience participation and interaction in the show, making it more interactive. Plus, the fact that Richard Hunt was available to voice Janice before his death made the illusion more realistic, and Steve Whitmire's Kermit sounded almost like Jim Henson's Kermit at some times, and at other times he sounded like Baby Kermit from "Muppet Babies!" Also, some of the costumes look really good, including ones like Bean Bunny and Fozzie Bear! Gonzo is cute, too, though he is colored similar to Baby Gonzo. Did the Jim Henson Company actually make the costumes, or did the Disney Company make them? I know Henson did the costumes for all Muppet and Sesame Street stage shows. I am also impressed with the moving mouths, too, a techonlogy feat done before they began experimenting with Mickey's mouth being able to move around the mid-90s! Was it done by remote control, or did the performers in the costumes operate them like regular full-bodied Muppets? Either way, this show looked really cool, and it's a shame it closed down.
