'''''Muppets On Location: Days of Swine and Roses''''' was a live show at the Disney-MGM Studios (now known as Disney's Hollywood Studios) in [[Walt Disney World]], [[Florida]]. The plot revolved around [[:Category:The Muppets Characters|the Muppets]] filming a movie. The Muppets characters also interacted with the audience, making the show more interactive.

The show opened on September 16, [[1991]], two weeks after the ''[[Here Come the Muppets]]'' attraction closed. It played for nearly three years in an outdoor location near ''[[Muppet*Vision 3D]]''. The show closed in [[1994]]. 

The show was directed by [[Anita Mann]]. The vocal track for the show was originally meant to be recorded in May [[1990]] in [[New York City]], but the recording session was canceled just prior to [[Jim Henson]]'s admittance to the hospital and passing.<ref>[https://interviews.televisionacademy.com/interviews/anita-mann#about Television Academy Foundation interview]</ref>

==Summary==
The Electric Mayhem open the show, introducing themselves and performing "[[Hey a Movie!]]," as all the other characters appear and join in the song. The movie begins filming, with Miss Piggy portraying a down-on-her-luck flower shop clerk (who is, incidentally, allergic to flowers). She sings "[[Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man]]," with the assistance of appropriate props. 

The show breaks for autograph signing, and the Electric Mayhem play through the interval. Dr. Teeth sings "[[Great Balls of Fire]]," Floyd sings "[[On the Road Again]]," Zoot performs Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax," and Animal emotes during "[[Feelings]]." As the last autographs are signed, Janice sings "[[Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da]]," and the cast returns to the stage to complete the filming.

The cast perform a medley of show tunes, which include "[[42nd Street]]," "[[Lullaby of Broadway]]," "[[Happy Feet]]," and the grand finale: Miss Piggy singing "[[Everything's Coming Up Roses]]," with more props.
