Schoolteacher (forgot her name)/Zelda Rose
Lena Gogan/Miss Piggy
Merle Gogan/Uncle Deadly
The Gogan sons (forgot their names)/Floyd & Clifford

Mayor/Sam
Paul/Gobo

MARY POPPINS:

Michael Banks/Robin
Uncle Albert/Fozzie
Constable/Link
Admiral Boom/Gonzo
Mr. Dawes/Waldorf
Mr. Dawes, Sr./Statler
Katie Nanna/Zelda Rose
Cook/Hilda
Ellen/Mildred

And, my revised Sweeney Todd cast:

[TravellingMatt]

Someone had to do it...might as well be me

AVENUE Q:

THE PUPPETS:

Princeton/Scooter
Kate Monster/Annie Sue
Trekkie Monster/Sweetums (head and arm) & Robin (other arm)
Nicky/Bert (head and arm) & Gonzo (other arm)
Rod/Ernie (this is to get E & B out of their comfort zones)
Bad Idea Bears/Floyd, Zoot & Dr. Teeth
Lucy T. ****/Janice

THE HUMANS:

Brian/Fozzie
Christmas Eve/Mokey
Gary Coleman/Roosevelt Franklin

Some of the pre-show dialogue:

Scooter: "Why is it I feel really weird doing this?"

Gonzo: "I know! This is weird, even for me!"

(Later, Kermit approaches Sweetums)

Kermit: "Sweetums, you're doing a great job with Trekkie Monster...but he's a two-person puppet."

Sweetums: "But I already got somebody to help me out with the other arm!"

Kermit: "You did? Who?"

Robin: (muffled) "I'm in here, Uncle Kermit!"

(and the final comment from Statler and Waldorf)

(Both are playing with puppet likenesses of themselves, much like at the end of the Senor Wences episode of TMS)

Statler: "Eh, this sucks." (both drop the puppet likenesses and walk out)

Well my friend told me that as a wee young thing, he did a puppet show with Miss Piggy to the Evita LP. And of course she's make a great Eva

I've always loved Jesus Christ Superstar, but I don't think the world could handle Kermit in the main role somehow!
