More Detail:
The 30-minute special reunites the Muppet Gang at their old theatre. With Kermit running the show, assisted by his longtime helper, Scooter. They put on a show that will delight their live studio audience. According to Kermit, a lot is riding on their success. The main drama comes as the lovable frog books way too many guests for the show. Popular and beloved Muppet
characters return to the small screen, including Kermit, Miss Piggy, Scooter, Gonzo, Fozzy, and an entire host of others.
The main guest for the episode, serving as the live musical guest, is popular singer and entertainer Sabrina Carpenter. Carpenter is certainly entertaining and does a nice job interacting with the Muppet characters. However, Sabrina in real life is known to be quite provocative and overtly sexual in her concert appearances, as well as for having extremely suggestive and risqué song lyrics. While this mainly stays out of her performance in THE MUPPET SHOW.
