There are some nearly tear-jerking moments towards he end, but the rest of the film is filled with some good moments of humour, and of course, all the Muppets you need. Basically all the Muppets lead by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson) decide to take their stage show, Manhattan Melodies, to New York, Broadway. It doesn't go that well for a while and they all split up to find jobs. But Kermit is still determined to sell the show to a producer, with help of Jenny (Juliana Donald) and her Dad, Pete (Louis Zorich). There is good turnout when he does sell it to wannabe producer Ronnie Crawford (Lonnie Price), with his real producer Dad, Bernard Crawford (Art Carney), and there is even a wedding for Kermit and Miss Piggy, with all of the Muppets and Sesame Street invited. Also starring Henson as Rowlf, Dr. Teeth, Swedish Chef and Ernie; Frank Oz as Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Sam the Eagle, Bert and Cookie Monster; Dave Goelz as The Great Gonzo, Zoot and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. Steve Whitmire as Rizzo the Rat, Gill the Frog and Baby Kermit and Richard Hunt as Scooter, Janice and Beaker. With cameos by Dabney Coleman, Gregory Hines, Linda Lavin, Joan Rivers, Elliot Gould, Liza Minnelli, Brooke Shields and John Landis. It was number 49 on The 100 Greatest Musicals, and The Muppets were number 47 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons. Good!
