my musical theatre group is doing muppets Christmas carol. i can't believe it. it may have been because i sent them a letter saying we could do some muppet but i never believed that we would actually do any of them. so we have auditions for parts and i got the part of gonzo i cant believe that they listened to me.

i am playing an awesome muppet but I'm kind of nervous for it. like fozzie:embarrassed: i dont take rejection well and i dont want to mess the voice or character up. do you have any tips on how to play the chracater of gonzo, (or more accurately charles dickens ) ?

Sweet! I wish my chorus, or at least my high school show choir, did something muppet related when I was a member!

You'll do great!

Well you might not be able to ask Dave directly but there are tons of interviewers from him. Also behind the scene s stuff as well.

Ok a little update on this. so the performance is today and i am so excited and its not just the theatre group any more. the bands, guitars, ukulele's, choir at the performance centre are doing something muppety its absolutely fantastic!

I'm still super nervous we have gone through so many script changes and song changes. the girl playing Rizzo has changed and its just really nerve racking. what really amazing is that everyone is doing something with the muppets especially on our last year when were open. i can't believe i have had this honour and i really want to do Gonzo justice
