A joyful, energetic musical comedy about friendship and perseverance, where beloved puppet characters pursue their Broadway dreams with infectious optimism and charm.

When the Muppets graduate from Danhurst College, they take their song-filled senior 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. Of course, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy won't take no for an answer, launching a search for someone to take them to Broadway.
