Ding! Ding! Ding! You said the secret word!
Okay, I guess it can now be told since they are already performing.
Muppeteer John Kennedy is currently performing Kermit on the cruise ship.
(Well at least he was suppose to be the choice so I heard in late July.)
Yerrid and Massey are also on board as Statler and Waldorf.
Yerrid is also Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear.
Massey is Robin the Frog.
The only guy picked nationwide from the Disney auditions is playing Gonzo, I never found out who that was though, I'm guessing he's unknown.
Cruise show directed by Martin Baker, (again based on info I heard in late July.) I doubt anything changed since them.


However I do believe that the previous cruise was Steve, Dave and Yerrid and Massey.
Yes much to the surprise of some, Yerrid and Massey did perform Statler and Waldorf
on the first cruise while Steve and Dave did Kermit and Gonzo.

I have worked personaly with the guy preforming Gonzo on the Cruises. A very tallented indivudual who is very familiar with Bear and was a puppeteer for the Disney company in Orlando. His name is Bret

I thought Kermit's voice was perfect. There was never a moment that you thought it was not Kermit but someone trying to sound like Kermit. To me this happens a bit with a few Disney characters, so I can be critical in this regard. It was perfect as far as I could tell.

I have no film of it. I'm sure someone must have taken pictures or something. There is a DISboard that has a thread on this cruise. Let me get you that address and you can join the board and advertise in the thread for pictures or films.

I did take some pictures of people getting on the ship one morning, which I now believe were some of the Muppet crew. Let me try to figure out how to post these here.

Thanks for the welcome to the board!!! I'll stick around. I have always been a Muppets fan and seeing them in person has me star struck!

The pictures I took:

I just realized that the gentleman in the red pattern shirt might be the comedian "guest star"...

Ah! Thanks for that bit of info! I have heard he's a nice fellow too. I wish him good luck.

Great photos! I can tell you who's who... only 4 Muppeteers were on the cruise.
The guy in the red shirt is Muppeteer John Kennedy as Kermit the Frog.
Hmm... that fellow behind him carrying a purple Muppet storage box is the only one I don't know,
perhaps that is 'Bret'? Perhaps 'Franklin Heart' can confirm?
I wonder if the people in front of them are family members?

The next two pictures it's easy to spot Drew Massey in black baseball cap and brown T-shirt and with his back to the camera in black T-shirt is Victor Yerrid.

Nice photos indeed!
