*****
I could have just given this show five stars just for being affiliated with Jim Henson because lets be honest The Muppet Show, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock are among some of the finest television programmes ever to grace the small screen let alone the creatures that the Jim Henson workshop has made for the silver screen.

However, I am judging this show purely on its own merits- and my god was it awesome! Featuring improvisations done in a Whose Line is it Anyway audience suggestions style this show was pure unadulterated (well there was some adultery I’m sure) puppet anarchy!



They went so far as to downright refuse any suggestions that they had used on previous nights. Therefore I cannot judge other nights but from what I saw this is an absolutely mind blowing experience and can only get better with less lame or at least less pornographic suggestions from the audience.

I’m pretty certain it is all sold out but I urge you sell a kidney for a ticket, sell your children, sell your soul; just see this show.
