The Muppets Take Manhattan

Miss Piggy will ihre große Liebe, Kermit den Frosch, heiraten. – Bild: SUPER RTL/Sony Miss Piggy will ihre große Liebe, Kermit den Frosch, heiraten. Bild: SUPER RTL/Sony In der Provinz feiern Kermit der Frosch und seine Freunde größere Erfolge mit ihrem Musical „Manhattan Melodies“. Daher kommt der Gedanke auf, dieses Stück könne kaum irgendwo mehr Erfolg haben als in New York, der pulsierenden Metropole des Theaters selbst! Kaum ist die Truppe allerdings in Manhattan angelangt, zerplatzen die Träume einer steilen Karriere wie Seifenblasen. Die vermeintlichen Broadwaystars müssen zunächst anderen Jobgelegenheiten nachgehen: Kermit beginnt seine „Bühnenkarriere“ sprichwörtlich als Tellerwäscher. Das Ziel als Millionär zu enden, scheint in weite Ferne gerückt. Neben Ruhm und Erfolg hat Miss Piggy noch ganz andere Pläne: sie möchte endlich ihre große Liebe Kermit heiraten. Doch als dieser von einem Auto angefahren wird, verliert er sein Gedächtnis … (Text: Cartoonito)

Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and the rest of the The Muppets have graduated from Danhurst College by entertaining their fellow graduates with their theatrical production of ''Manhattan Melodies''. Upon the suggestion of taking the show to Broadway (Manhattan), the Muppets proceed with the idea, certain they will become stars instantly. Arriving in Manhattan, the group meet producer Martin Price (Dabney Coleman) but the police arrive and reveal he is a wanted con artist named Murray Plotsky. Plotsky is arrested, leaving the Muppets' hopes dashed. They try other theatrical producers to no avail, leading to their morale and finances taking a nosedive.
