The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History'

[Princess Leia]

The calendar still lists the show as starting on October 2 and these are the performance times listed for opening day. Not sure if they're wrong or need to be updated or if each "time" corresponds to a different "moment in history" and we might actually get unique skits throughout the whole day.

9:05AM
9:15AM
10:00AM
10:15AM
11:45AM
11:55AM
12:10PM
1:15PM
1:25PM
2:20PM
3:35PM
3:45PM
4:25PM
4:35PM

These seem to be very random times.

Do we know if the audio for the show is going to be recorded by the "real" voice actors for each character, or is it going to be live audio by the puppeteers?

Recorded voice actors would of course sound the most "correct", but live audio would allow for more improv and interaction between the characters which IMO is a lot of the charm of the muppets.

Eh, split it into 2 sets of performers, one AM, one afternoon. 30 mins "on", 30 mins "off", (or whatever the union calls for) with a longer "lunch" break in the middle. 4, break, 3, then 3, break, 4.

I dunno, but it seems unlikely that they are calling in the puppeteers to do this on an-all day basis, I'd have to assume everything will be pre-recorded.

Well, I'm talking about the audio for the show. I think it's clear they're using puppeteers for the character movement. They're not going to be AA.

I'm just wondering if the puppeteers are going to do the speaking, or if they're going to act to a soundtrack.

I didn't know they were doing a paul revere thing also. Anybody know if its a person actually riding through or a guy dressed up as him interacting with the muppets?

So is it 2 different shows (the Declaration of Independence signing and Paul Revere ride)? It sounds fun all the same...

Rats!!! (No disrespect to Rizzo!) I leave on October 1st, so I'll miss this by ONE DAY!!

 

[alissafalco]

Sounds cute...How will this be executed? Will they be behind a puppet stage of some kind?

 

[GeneralZod]

Why did you feel the need to drag a member who clearly dislikes the Muppets into this conversation? Seriously? I don't get the Panther's hatred for the Muppets, but this is just petty, childish, and a great way to create unnecessary drama.

Childish? Maybe... Humorous? Definitely.

Looking forward to seeing it....would be neat if they had some of the muppets opening and shouting down from colonial windows in upstairs areas, to interact with larger puppets below....guess the reviews will be posted here before we know it!

My fingers are crossed that it'll be Gonzo playing Paul Revere.

They bill it as being humorous and patriotic. I just hope that it does have a good dose of patriotism, not completely overshadowed by the humor. And I certainly don't hope that there is much irreverence, but that's usually how the Muppets play off Sam the Eagle.

Basically, I hope that this has a good dose of patriotism that both kids and parents can absorb.

And I do realize that Disney's attention is squarely directed at children and the Disney IPs. But it's also nice to have rides and entire lands in the park that can be left alone to appeal to their original adult audience.

Go ahead and make fun of me, but I think this looks adorable, and I can't wait to see it!
