Muppets Take Broadway

Muppets Take Broadway

Project Overview

Hi-ho! Muppets Take Broadway - how?

Muppets Take Broadway will be a brand-new parody channel featuring various tributes to both iconic Broadway musicals and Jim Henson's Muppety creations - performing globally on YouTube! 

In order to do that, we'll need to make a team. If all goes to plan there's going to be voice actors, singers, animators, and artists all working together to create a little bit of Muppet magic that might make other people happy!

In terms of a story, the YouTube channel will be framed as if The Muppets have decided to take on Broadway hits - even if the results are unconventional. Ever wanted to see Sam Eagle in Hamilton? Rizzo the Rat as Beetlejuice? Kermit and Miss Piggy playing Mia & Sebastian? Here's your chance!

Requirements:

Like Kermit said in The Muppet Movie - "I have a dream too, but it's about singing and dancing and making people happy. It's the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with. And I found a whole group of friends who have the same dream, and that makes us sort of like a family."

With the crazy times that we're living in, I had this idea and thought that if anyone else out there would want to help and work together on this, it might be fun for everyone while making all those same people happy!

The main requirements are that your selected Muppet impression is true to the character, your microphone is of high-quality, you have fun, and that you are passionate about the project and its source material. If you are auditioning for non-voice roles then the main focus is having fun and having a base level of skill behind you. If you have a knack for improvising and throwing ideas around, that's even better!

Auditions:

In order to get this right, Voice Actors will need to sound as close to the original characters as possible - even while singing. It is highly recommended that you review your character's source material before auditioning. For these auditions, you are free to improvise by reading quotes from the chosen character and singing a short verse to get a feel for your singing voice!

For non-voice auditions, feel free to send me a message through Discord and we can go over your previous work. The main key for this project is that the team created has a passion for the source material.

Deadline:

Since I am staying home like most of you might be, production has been coming along steadily with everyone currently involved. If possible, the goal would be to begin releasing the series by the holiday season. Above all, quality comes first.


Here's an example of what our first three projects are: 

The Whole Being Dead Thing | Beetlejuice - Rizzo the Rat

Gaston | Beauty and the Beast - Gonzo, Rizzo the Rat, & Pepe the King Prawn

Another Day of Sun | La La Land - Kermit the Frog & Miss Piggy


If you've read up to this point - thank you. To talk more, my Discord is Phil#1244. I hope you all have fun and good luck!

Miss Piggy is a prima-donna pig who is absolutely convinced that she's destined for stardom, and nothing is going to stand in her way. Her public face is the soul of feminine charm, but she can instantly fly into a rage whenever she thinks she's insulted or thwarted. Kermit has learned this all too well; when she isn't smothering him in kisses, she's sending him flying through the air with a karate-chop.

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is the resident scientist on The Muppet Show, and the host of the Muppet Labs sketches. In season one of The Muppet Show he worked alone, but in season two, his assistant Beaker was added to the show. Bunsen is always eager to show off his latest scientific discovery, but his excitement about progress tends to render him short-sighted. Beaker usually ends up being harmed by Dr. Honeydew's inventions. Bunsen Honeydew's name comes from the scientific instrument called the Bunsen burner, and the shape of his head, which looks like a honeydew melon.

Waldo C. Graphic, "the spirit of 3D", is a computer graphic, as his name suggests, rather than a standard fleece-and-foam Muppet. As such, he's able to morph into any shape imaginable. He has the playful nature of a clown, yet with the intelligence of a computer. Waldo first appeared in 1989 on The Jim Henson Hour where he was the demographics expert for MuppeTelevision. His most prominent role was in the Disney theme park attraction Muppet*Vision 3D, engaging with the Muppets and audience members, attempting to get out of the film, and even morphing into Mickey Mouse (voiced by Wayne Allwine).

CHIP is the I.T. guy (aka Information Technology Guy) for Up Late with Miss Piggy. While new to many people—or maybe just forgettable in that way IT guys tend to be—Chip has been around the Muppets for quite awhile. He began as part of Gorilla Television, a pirate broadcast group, on The Jim Henson Hour. He took time off to pursue an advanced degree in Synergistic Informational Technology & Modern Dance. Though modestly talented as an actor, Chip has really hit his sweet spot as tech czar at Miss Piggy’s late night chat show.

This role is for an animator who can sketch out animatics featuring The Muppets as they perform various (and unconventional) sketches that don't always go to plan! Similar to a storyboard, they don't need to be fully-fledged and colored segments, but an easy-to-understand method of storytelling for the viewer.

For this role, this project is in need of a video editor who could capture the wackiness of The Muppets in a two-dimensional video method. Since getting our hands on actual puppet replicas isn't easy, using reference images to storyboard the sketches is the next best option! If possible, an editing style similar to this video would be preferable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8w4JgsMQPA

Think you've got what it takes to surpass Gonzo, Rizzo, and Pepe's writing wit? Here's your chance to surpass that very low bar! This role is meant for someone with both creative and scriptwriting experience who can bring a fresh but familiar humor to The Muppets. Above all, genuinely writing the characters as themselves and not caricatures of themselves is key to making this project stand out. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on Discord at Phil#1244 - good luck!
