OMG, ok here I go:

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, with Kermit as the Phantom, Miss Piggy as Christine and Animal as Raul.

Part 1: Angel of Music -- Miss Piggy starts singing; the smoke starts covering the mirror; Gonzo appears, singing "I am there inside"; Kermit pushes him out of the way into what sounds like a bunch of tin cans backstage; Piggy starts singing again; Kermit then sings "I am your angel, come to me angel of music"; shoves Gonzo away after coming back into the mirror panting; Kermit finishes "I am your angel of music, come to me angel of music."

Break away to the Phantom's boat and underwater hideaway. Penguins seem to inhabit the underground lair, much like The Penguin's hideout in BATMAN.

Piggy: "What's with all the penguins?"

Kermit: "According to the deed, they own the place"

Piggy: "Okay"

Piggy <singing>: "In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came; that voice which calls to me and speaks my name"

Gonzo, running across stage, being chased by penguins: "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, the penguins are restless and it’s feeding time!"

Piggy: "Ummm … " <singing> "The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind"

Rizzo’s voice: "Psssst, Kermit, you'e on"

Kermit:"Oh"<in all the penguin commotion, he runs onstage half-dressed> "In all your fantasies, you always knew that man and mystery were both in you"

Piggy: "Kermy, this is neither the time nor the place"

<audience and crew all erupt into laughter; Kermit, realizing his mistake, runs offstage>

Dr. Teeth, panicked, in the orchestra pit: "Ummm … start the overture!"

<overture starts, huge chandelier falls from the ceiling above the audience; causing spectators running and widespread panic in the orchestra section of the audience>

Sam the Eagle, from his presidential balcony <shaking his head & covering his eyes>: "Is there no more decency in live theater?"

Animal, chasing one of the human female stagehands across the stage: "Woman! Woman!"

<cut to commercial>

Part 2: Music of the Night -- Kermit starts singing; as he sings "Silently the senses abandon the defenses," Gonzo appears & shoves Kermit away; sings "Helpless to resist the notes I write, dare you trust the music of the night"; Kermit shoves Gonzo away & sings "Close your eyes & surrender to your darkest fears"; both squabble; Gonzo gets up & caresses Piggy as he sings "Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soooooooo-- "

Penguins, in unison: sooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr

Gonzo: "What can I say, animals dig me"

Gonzo <singing, snuggling up to Piggy>: "And you’ll live as you’ve never lived before"

Kermit: "OK, that’s it!"

<Kermit wrestles Gonzo to the floor>

Rizzo, from offstage: "Psssstttt, Kermit, stick to the script"

<all is finally calm after mayhem among penguins, frogs & gonzos ensues & turns into a prolonged wrestling match>

Rizzo, backstage: "Cut to 'Point of No Return'!" <shakes head> "Sheesh … I need a raise"

<Kermit, halfway into the song, is hit on the head with a hammer by Gonzo; Gonzo finishes the song … well, almost. He is interrupted by a bewildered looking ANIMAL dragging himself onstage>

Animal: "Me, Raul"

<Kermit awakens; both he and Gonzo stand on either sided of Miss Piggy>

Miss Piggy: "I’ll bet Sarah Brightman never had this much trouble"

Rizzo, offstage: "Lower the rope!"

Animal, looking up: "Uh-oh… "

<rope tightens around Animal’s neck and pulls him up, so far and so fast that he crashes through the ceiling>

Rizzo, coming onstage, looking at the hole in the ceiling: "Too far, Fozzie!"

<Rizzo rushes offstage; Dr. Teeth does his trademark laugh; Animal comes crashing back down to Earth; Sam the Eagle proclaims to everyone on the stage "You are all idiots"; he leaves>

Rizzo, offstage: "Fade to black!"

<curtain>

<curtain falls off hinges; after which the entire set crumbles in a heap of dust and bird feathers>
