December 24, 9 PM EST: From here on in I shoot without a script.
Coming back to this because these are all the other musicals that should be recast with muppets:
1. Rent
Everyone is a muppet except the evil landlord, self explanatory, done. (I don’t know enough about rent to cast this one tbh but I think Scooter would be an excellent mark)
2. The Phantom of the Opera
The count is the phantom (join me in a fantasy world where the muppets and Sesame Street gang cross over- or it could also just be Gonzo I guess I like the idea of him as a homewrecker) miss piggy is Christine, kermit is raoul and the only humans are Meg and her mother. Additional cast members could be scooter as the stage manager, per the usual, Fozzie Bear as that one Italian opera singer but instead of singing he just wants to tell his jokes, Gonzo as Carlotta in a wig and statler and Waldorf as themselves heckling the opera
3. Jesus Christ Superstar
Hear me out ok, this one may be controversial, but miss piggy is Jesus, the slightly jaded, undeniable star of the show, and kermit is Judas, undeniably in love with her, but tired of her hogging the spotlight and feels she’s turned her back on what the muppets are really about. Beaker is Peter because he also looks like he would nope out when shit goes down and deny miss piggy, and Mary Magdalene should be played by renowned Broadway actress Philips Sousa because I just think that would be really cool if she hasn’t already played that role
4. Sweeney Todd
In which the animal plays unhinged sweeney todd, judge Turpin is Sam the eagle, miss piggy is Johanna, kermit is Anthony, and miss Lovett is played by Janice, who while I think lacks the manic energy needed for the role, would be a good chilled out foil to animal and bring a new flavour to the character of the crazy character who’s so deluded they make their actions seem almost sane
5. Little Shop of Horrors
I’m sorry I know I keep casting them as the two leads but kermit and miss piggy were born to play Audrey and Seymour, it is a pair that cannot be topped. The only change this makes to the original is that we all know miss piggy takes no shit so I think the stuff with the dentist (still played by Steve Martin because you can’t improve upon perfection) is a misinterpretation and she actually beats the ever living shit out of him for disrespecting her. Rizzo the rat should play the slimey businessman who buys Audrey Two, Statler and Waldorf are collectively mr mushnik, the chorus should also be human but I think the piece de resistance would be the Swedish chef as Audrey two and all the world is his chicken, and all the world should be deeply, deeply, afraid.
Tell me in the comments if I missed anyone or you have any casting ideas yourself!!
This has definitely been pitched before, but petition for a remake of les miserables where everyone is a muppet except Javert

Шукається двох- (або більше) кімнатна квартира біля м. Дарниця (десь +- в області як на малюнку).
З вимог: — 2-4 поверх; — можливість оренди з тваринами (пташки); — швидкий інтернет; — бойлер/пралка/духовка/кондюк (або дозвіл на їх встановлення); — нормальне спальне ліжко (чи домовленість про його придбання/вивіз дивану тощо); — відсутність неадекватних сусідів.
Балкон, велика ванна — суттєвий плюс.
Хотілося б зняти в когось із умовно знайомих. Може, хтось з присутніх думав про те, щоб здати свою в хороші руки? Або знає пристойну, яка скоро звільняється?
