The Muppet Show’ Makes a Comeback with Sabrina Carpenter Leading New Adventures

In the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, a familiar melody is echoing once more. Decades after luminaries like Rita Moreno, Elton John, and Liza Minnelli graced the stage of “The Muppets,” the iconic show is reigniting its magic. Fifty years on, the curtain rises again, inviting audiences to revel in the whimsical world of their beloved characters.

Leading the vibrant ensemble at the Muppet Theatre is none other than Kermit the Frog. With his timeless charm, he assumes the role of host, reminiscent of the legendary Ed Sullivan. Kermit humorously muses, “Perhaps there’s a young host you could compare me to? Maybe one of the Jimmys?” His playful nod to modern talk show icons sets the tone for the show’s blend of nostalgia and contemporary flair.

No revival would be complete without the undeniable presence of Miss Piggy, whose charisma remains unmatched. Declaring herself an icon, a legend, and even a muse, Miss Piggy is front and center, exuding her signature glamour. In a delightful segment of the new special, she shares the stage with singer Sabrina Carpenter, creating a memorable exchange.

“You’re my idol! Yeah, I basically modeled my whole look and style after you,” Carpenter gushes to Miss Piggy. In true diva fashion, Miss Piggy quips, “Oh, trust me, my attorneys and I have taken notice and we will be in touch.” Their interaction captures the quintessential Muppet humor that fans adore.

For those who cherished the original series, the return of the Muppet ensemble promises a joyful reunion. With the entire cast ready to entertain, the stage is set for another unforgettable chapter in Muppet history.

If there’s something Kermit and Miss Piggy can promise the audience of this latest show, it’s this.

“I can promise you I’ll be there. What else do you need?” Miss Piggy said. Kermit went on to tell us we could also expect singing and comedy, plus Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph. Not to be outdone, Miss Piggy interjected. “That’s just like frosting on the top,” she said, adding, “I’m the cake.”
