Redesign That Bird Deadline!
Remember when I asked you to design a new DVD cover for Follow That Bird? Like the silly person I am, I never set a deadline. So here’s the deadline: March 6th. Got that? Good, now send your Follow That Bird cover to ToughPigsRyan@yahoo.com.
Muppets in Orlando!
Any Muppet fan who lives near Orlando has no reason not to go see the Jim Henson’s Fantastic World exhibit, which is currently at the Orange County Regional History Center.
In addition to the exhibit, they’ll be screening Muppets, Music and Magic, a selection of various Henson and Muppet-related programs, in March and April. Heather Henson gets things started on March 6 with Muppets 101, which includes early commercials and other TV appearances.
A Minneapolis children’s theater is planning a new (and authorized!) musical about Bert and Ernie to debut next September, entitled Bert & Ernie, Goodnight! in which America’s favorite roommates will be played by human actors. Will it confuse the kids? I can’t wait to find out.
John Tartaglia’s nose grows
Jim Hill Media reports on the current gig of sometime Sesame Street Muppeteer and former Avenue Q star John Tartaglia, playing Pinnochio in the Shrek musical on Broadway. The article also includes info on an upcoming solo concert in which Tartaglia plans on singing “Bein’ Green.”
