The Muppets Take Manhattan with Frank Oz in person

Director Frank Oz in person!

Dir. Frank Oz. U.S., 1984, 94 mins. DCP. With Jim Henson, Dave Goelz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Steve Whitmire. When the Muppets’ college revue is a big hit, they decide to take the show all the way to Broadway. Adjusting to the hustle and bustle of New York City, Kermit takes a job at a local restaurant while he searches for a producer. Filled with cameos by quintessential New Yorkers, such as Gregory Hines, Joan Rivers, James Coco, Brooke Shields, and Liza Minnelli, the movie ends with a fantastical and questionably genuine wedding between Kermit and Miss Piggy. Oz’s first solo-directed film is a dose of pure joy, a true gift to showtune lovers featuring some of the greatest songs in the Muppet canon and the beloved “Muppet Babies” sequence that spawned its own mini-franchise.
