POTSDAM -- The Community Performance Series will host "Heather Henson's Sing Along with The Muppet Movie" Wednesday, May 6, at 7 p.m. in the Proscenium Theater at SUNY Potsdam.
The cost is $15 for adults and $12 for youth and includes a goodie bag.
The Muppet Movie is the 1979 classic that represents the feature film roots of the Muppets. It received two Academy Award nominations and is listed in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
The Muppet Movie follows Kermit the Frog as he embarks on a cross-country trip to Hollywood. Along the way, he meets many other misfit Muppets. They join Kermit to overcome danger, discover their true selves, and build a future of friendship together.
In this Heather Henson creation (daughter of Jim Henson), the IBEX Puppetry team leads an audience of cheering, singing fans to renew their rainbow connection with the friends who started it all.
The show is full of interactive surprises like bubbles, streamers, kites, confetti pops, and characters coming right out of the screen into the audience.
Children and adults alike are urged to yell out famous lines, blow bubbles, and of course, sing along with the movie to forge new, or renewed connection to the film.
“Sing Alongs allow me to connect with the work of my father. I can work with my Dad’s material. I can put a new spin on it but it’s still his stuff, intact. And it gives me an opportunity to watch them over and over again,” said Henson.
