The Muppets Take Scripthatten

“A live reading of the screenplay to 1984’s The Muppets Take Manhattan to support Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS”

The Muppet Script returns to bring you THE MUPPETS TAKE SCRIPTHATTAN! When most people think of the Muppets, they think of the colorful characters made out of fleece and foam. But as with every movie, it all starts on the written page. Before returning to the big screen, the Muppets returned to the writers' room. Muppets stalwart FRANK OZ was joined by TOM PATCHETT and JAY TARSES to take the gang to Broadway, in FRANK OZ's solo directorial debut. With music by JEFF MOSS and RALPH BURNS, THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN is a toe-tapping treasure! This performance will be raising funds for BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS, the philanthropic heart of Broadway. They are one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations, helping people across the country and across the street receive life-saving medications, health care, nutritious meals, counseling and emergency financial assistance.
