Even the Muppets have dreams of making it big on Broadway. When their college production of Manhattan Melodies becomes a huge hit on campus, they are sure it will be just as successful on Broadway. Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the gang head off to Manhattan to make it big. But like many before them, they quickly find out that Broadway dreams aren’t guaranteed. With money and patience running short, the gang goes their separate ways while Kermit continues to work to get the show going. When Kermit is injured and loses his memory, will the show even go on? Jim Hanson’s clever, amusing mix of live action and puppetry includes a slew of star cameos, including Liza Minnelli, Brooke Shields, Gregory Hines, and Joan Rivers. — Erin Ritter
