Kermit appears in the show's O. | |
Kermit | It's The Muppet Show, with our special guest star, Mr. Peter Ustinov! |
The banner rises, and the theme begins. | |
Chorus girls |
It's time to play the music |
Male chorus |
It's time to put on makeup |
The curtain opens on Fozzie. | |
Fozzie | Hey — the little problems in life drive me crazy. Like, what do you send to a sick florist? Huh? Huh? |

Opening number[]
Main stage. Kermit enters to applause. | |
Kermit | Thank you, thank you, and hello, dear friends, and welcome to this potpourri of mirth and madness we call The Muppet Show. Hey, we're especially excited around here tonight, because our guest star is Mr. Peter Ustinov. He is a man for all seasons, an actor, a director, a writer, plus being a great raconteur. Uh, that's, that's French for "tennis player." I think. Anyway, we're also fortunate in having with us an offshoot of the world famous Boston Pops Orchestra — just the wind section — but I think it's gonna be a thrill for us all so let's open the show with an evening at the Pops! |
An orchestra of balloon-headed musicians (the wind section) perform Léo Delibes' "Pizzicato" as a parody of Evening at Pops. | |
Statler | Mm. They say, "Music hath charm to soothe a savage beast." |
Animal starts attacking Statler. Waldorf laughs. | |
Waldorf | Such is not the case here, however. |
Animal starts attacking Waldorf. Statler watches. | |
Statler | Get him. Get him. |
