Muppet Movie Sing-A-Long
On Saturday, I went to a Muppet Movie Sing-A-Long.
Really!
As a celebration of Jim Henson on the last weekend of the exhibition of his work at the Museum of Moving Image here in NYC, his daughter, Heather Henson led a fun interactive screening of The Muppet Movie (1979).
There we were. A theater filled with hundreds of children and adults acting like children- complete with goodie bags filled with props. Balloons, tiaras, glow sticks, noisemakers, feathers and so many other fun surprises for just that right moment in the movie.
Most of us had a favorite Muppet t-shirt, hat or memorabilia with us. Here’s a picture of me and my new Kermit backpack.
Just a room filled with laughter and childlike wonderment for two hours.
It didn’t matter I was still healing from my horrible cold.
I still laughed out loud at the jokes that I clearly now understand are adult jokes (who knew?!) and cried like I always do as I sang “Rainbow Connection”! Just a magical afternoon of stepping outside of my busy life of responsibility to feel like I was 12 again!
When was the last time you let go like this?
It really boosts my creativity- how about yours?
Break with Bryn" phone call.
Hi Bryn,
Really…what could be better than spending an afternoon with such dear childhood friends? Going to the new Muppet movie a few months ago was a real highlight for me.
I just discovered you and your blog…this is the first post I read and I’m SO envious! I wonder if Heather Henson would come to Northern New Hampshire and do a singalong for us up here?
Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Leah- sorry for the delay. Love that we share the joy and love of the Muppets! There was so much energy in that room of the Muppet Movie showing. and I heard from a little bird that someone bought me a gift- the DVD of the Muppets! YEAH.
