Ben Vereen

We were hoping Ben Vereen would have more magic to do with the Muppets, but he mostly dances around them in a way that suggests he has too much something on his mind, and it’s not Heaven. (It might be quaaludes but who are we to say?) At least our beloved Droop doesn’t say bye bye love, and Fozzie’s big act is only visually like Pippin’s.

Statler’s scream is edited out of this on Disney+ and was for its original release as well, but it’s on the DVD. We don’t know why. The Muppet Morsels acknowledge it was edited but don’t explain it. We had a whole conversation about it but cut it because of our complete lack of insight or knowledge. But now you know, too.
