Fozzie Bear - Blog Posts

Coming back to this because these are all the other musicals that should be recast with muppets:

1. Rent

Everyone is a muppet except the evil landlord, self explanatory, done. (I don’t know enough about rent to cast this one tbh but I think Scooter would be an excellent mark)

2. The Phantom of the Opera

The count is the phantom (join me in a fantasy world where the muppets and Sesame Street gang cross over- or it could also just be Gonzo I guess I like the idea of him as a homewrecker) miss piggy is Christine, kermit is raoul and the only humans are Meg and her mother. Additional cast members could be scooter as the stage manager, per the usual, Fozzie Bear as that one Italian opera singer but instead of singing he just wants to tell his jokes, Gonzo as Carlotta in a wig and statler and Waldorf as themselves heckling the opera

3. Jesus Christ Superstar

Hear me out ok, this one may be controversial, but miss piggy is Jesus, the slightly jaded, undeniable star of the show, and kermit is Judas, undeniably in love with her, but tired of her hogging the spotlight and feels she’s turned her back on what the muppets are really about. Beaker is Peter because he also looks like he would nope out when shit goes down and deny miss piggy, and Mary Magdalene should be played by renowned Broadway actress Philips Sousa because I just think that would be really cool if she hasn’t already played that role

4. Sweeney Todd

In which the animal plays unhinged sweeney todd, judge Turpin is Sam the eagle, miss piggy is Johanna, kermit is Anthony, and miss Lovett is played by Janice, who while I think lacks the manic energy needed for the role, would be a good chilled out foil to animal and bring a new flavour to the character of the crazy character who’s so deluded they make their actions seem almost sane

5. Little Shop of Horrors

I’m sorry I know I keep casting them as the two leads but kermit and miss piggy were born to play Audrey and Seymour, it is a pair that cannot be topped. The only change this makes to the original is that we all know miss piggy takes no shit so I think the stuff with the dentist (still played by Steve Martin because you can’t improve upon perfection) is a misinterpretation and she actually beats the ever living shit out of him for disrespecting her. Rizzo the rat should play the slimey businessman who buys Audrey Two, Statler and Waldorf are collectively mr mushnik, the chorus should also be human but I think the piece de resistance would be the Swedish chef as Audrey two and all the world is his chicken, and all the world should be deeply, deeply, afraid.

Tell me in the comments if I missed anyone or you have any casting ideas yourself!!

This has definitely been pitched before, but petition for a remake of les miserables where everyone is a muppet except Javert

Miss Piggy-Piggy Carter

Kermit the Frog-Steve Frogers

Fozzie Bear-Bucky Bear

Bonus:

Gonzo-Helmut Gonzemo

Random question but Dead Boy Detectives and Muppets. Who would be the only human? Jenny or the night nurse would be funny but I also made myself laugh thinking the cat king trying to seduce Kermit the frog. Who would play who? I feel like Gonzo or Kermit fit Charles. No idea why just do. I also think Miss Piggy would be amazing as Ester.

Reblog if, no matter the size of the role, you would agree to work with the Muppets if offered the chance to do so, no questions asked

Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Fozzie Bear

I wak-a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me, and I wak-alone I wak this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I wak-alone I wak-alone, I wak-alone I wak-alone, I waka- My shadow's the only one that waks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I wak-alone wak-ah, wak-ah, wak-ah, ah-ah wak-ah, wak-ah, wak-ah I'm waka down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the borderline Of the edge, and where I wak-alone Read between the lines What's fucked up, and everything's alright Check my vital signs To know I'm still alive, and I wak-alone I wak-alone, I wak-alone I wak-alone, I wak-a- My shadow's the only one that waks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I wak-alone wak-ah, wak-ah, wak-ah, ah-ah wak-ah, wak-ah, I wak-alone, I wak-a- I wak this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I waka- My shadow's the only one that waks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I wak-alone
