Jim Henson's Four Broadway Project That Never Happened

This is only a corollary, but there was a production a few years back called "The Muppets: Live!" which was exactly that- a big, elaborate tribute to Muppet history complete with a live Muppet show muppeteered by the official Henson crew, with lots and lots of celebrity cameos.

Jon Voigt showed up in a chicken suit, that eccentric-voiced British comedian who played Leo Bloom in London did a prop-comedy routine, very standard Muppet gold.

Theatre and Jim Henson are my two passions, as well! I'm so surprised at myself for not knowing about these things, though! Minus Into the Woods - this is news to me. lol Thanks for posting this! I even followed you on tumblr. :)

Jim could've done so much more. I really believe that entertainment on television as a whole would be a lot different today if he were still around. Not to mention some of the amazing things we would have gotten out of the characters that we know and love already... So sad.
