I was there and also got picked for a trick. I’d say this is going to run closer to 80min when it tightens. It started at 7:01 and curtain call was at 8:30 on the nose even after 2/3 tech stops and and a 5 min thank you speech from Rob. I’d also say The Muppets is probably 20 min total- Gonzos bits alone were at least 10 min, but it was cool to see them live.

De nada.  But seriously -- there are a LOT of reasons to hate Disney and Bob Iger -- but I wouldn't even list this in the top 100 list of their offenses towards humanity!

On the positive side, it sounds like they might be available for weddings and Bar Mitvahs.

Yea, there's a thousand reasons to hate the company like the atrocities they've committed against human life in the past two years. I hate them to shreds, I pirate their media and don't take in any of their new properties. It's gonna suck giving them the smallest bit of money when I go to my local theatre next month for frozen, I love them but hate I giving even a penny to that evil corporation that values money over human life.

The Muppets are the least of my concerns, they'll be fine. The company needs to change their ways, but money speaks more than human life to those people.

I’m saying it again they would make so much money for Broadway Cares with a photo op with the Muppets

Before pandemic Avenue Q always did a photo-op with one of the puppets (alongside their puppeteer) after the show during BroadwayCares. It’s one of my favorite photos! I think it cost $10 donation back then.

On that topic, it's nice to see AVENUE Q long-timer Ben Durocher is involved in this show as one of the puppeteers!

I actually asked someone with the show about this exact same thing and was told that (at least now) Disney would never allow it. Oddly they don’t even have the muppets on the Windowcard for the show.

Maybe I'm wrong, but are the Muppets ever seen with their puppeteers? Seems very Disney to want to keep the magic hidden.

That's not a just Disney thing - that's a Muppet thing. Jim Henson had the same rule.

I believe one of the only times the reality of the Muppers was broken was on the unsold pilot for The Orson Welles Show which featured segments with the Muppets in addition to interviews with Jim Henson & Frank Oz.
