Too bad I don't live in America. It sounds like it would have been fun!

Phil, is there a HENSON schedule that lists these appearances and events so we can get the info sooner? I would like to see if there are other texas appearances and when they are.

Thanks
Randy

Randy, we're not aware of any other Texas events at this time. Like you, we wish there were more of them. It would be great to see The Muppet Movie on the big screen again.

I can't believe I missed this. I was so close to this, but college and not being able to drive is a drag
