The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
Director: Frank Oz
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
After setting Hollywood alight, the Muppets take on another enduring rags to riches American myth: let's do a Broadway show. Only this time it's Frogway, and the musical, written and starring our own Kermit (natch), is only lacking one till-busting ingredient: there aren't enough frogs. During the 94 minutes of this delightful movie, the Muppets graduate from college, hit New York, are parted and reunited minutes before curtain-up, with Kermit saved from amnesia by a right hook from Miss Piggy.Author: SGr
