Jim Henson's
Muppets find themselves in Manhattan yearning to get a musical on Broadway in this charming film that also chides show business and its foibles.
Kermit the Frog has just put together a successful variety show at Danhurst college (probably somewhere between Amherst and Dartmouth), and although he would like to mount it on Broadway so he would have a hit and be able to marry
Miss Piggy, he cannot find backers. The
Muppets are then forced to take jobs to support themselves, and it is while working as a waiter that
Kermit meets the friendly Jennie (
Juliana Donald). Jennie is the daughter of the owner of the restaurant and a source of great jealousy for
Miss Piggy, who does not like competition. With stunning musical numbers involving a hundred or so
Muppets and on-scene locations in New York City, the film is impressive in its merging of technical achievements and acting.
