Here Come the Muppets was a live show featuring walk-around versions of the Muppets at the Disney-MGM Studios in Walt Disney World, Florida.

The show had its official grand opening on June 15, 1990,[1] and it ran until September 2, 1991, later being replaced in that location by Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Two weeks after the show closed, a second live Muppet show, Muppets on Location: Days of Swine and Roses, opened in another location in the park, right next to Muppet*Vision 3D.

The pre-show area featured a specially recorded video of Rowlf playing the piano and singing, with interruptions from Sam the Eagle.

Summary[]

Kermit the Frog is onstage, but the other Muppets are late. Kermit gets a call from Mickey Mouse on the videophone. Mickey is checking on how the show is going, and Kermit assures him that it's going fine despite the others not being there yet.

Kermit calls the operator (Lily Tomlin as her Ernestine character from Laugh-In) and asks to get Miss Piggy on the phone. Miss Piggy is wearing a robe and has mud on her face. She claims that she is talking with some Disney executives, but when she finds out that Kermit is using a videophone and that she can be seen, she instantly gets ready for the show. Kermit then calls Fozzie Bear. Fozzie thinks that he's lost, but Kermit tells him that he has to go through the door that Fozzie is in front of, and this leads him to the stage.

Shortly after entering the stage, Fozzie tells Kermit that Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are going to come by monorail. The monorail crashes through the wall, and the band emerges. Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and Bean Bunny soon arrive as well, and the show gets started.

Notes[]

  • The videophone footage of Fozzie and Miss Piggy was reused in the World of Jim Henson special as part of the introduction.
  • Statuettes of the Electric Mayhem displayed as a part of the venue would later be featured as a part of the decor at the Stage 1 Company Store.
  • John Kennedy, who was a Dr. Teeth costume performer in the actual show, puppeteered Dr. Teeth riding an ice cream cart in a shot cut from the television commercial promoting the show.[2]
