When the Muppets graduate from an Ivy League college, they take their song-filled revue to New York City, only to learn that it isn’t easy to find a producer who’s willing to back a show starring a frog and a pig. So Kermit, Miss Piggy and the gang launch a search for someone to take them to Broadway in this playful, Oscar-nominated showbiz spoof with impressive musical numbers involving over 100 muppets in actual NYC locations.
