Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas Musical

[TheJimHensonHour]

Oh sweet! That is soooooo awesome!

 

[Phillip]

Yes, this is real and happening. It's something Paul Williams has wanted to do for a long time.

 

[anytimepally]

looks like I'm heading back to Broadway!

 

[erniebert1234ss]

Yeah, it's an excuse to go back for me too. The last time I hit Broadway, it was to see Wicked with Shoshana Bean and Megan Hilty in the roles of Elphaba and Galinda; and Avenue Q with much of the original cast!

Hooohooo hoo hoo hoo hoooo! Yes! I'm glad that this IS happing but i'm also glad I posted real live Muppet news!

"We've made curtains and handkerchiefs
and clothing for the pooooooooor!
From the one bathing suit
That your grandma otter wore!"

Wow cool! I mean, kinda hoped it would be true, but I'm also surprised as well. I'll look forward to updates. (Do we need a Wendel Porcupine smiley now or something?)

 

[Erine81981]

Now this will be cool to see or to hear maybe a CD that'll be out. Can't wait for more new updates.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Zack, you have GOT to go audition!

This is such an odd and interesting concept for a show that I think it could work! This classic is beloved by many even non-Muppet fans I have met.

Now that Disney has the Muppets - and is doing something with them these days - it frees up the Henson Company to focus on many other projects - Fraggles, Crystal, Emmet Otter. There is the beginning of a renaissance in Jim Henson's properties. I hope it continues.
