Okay, someone with Final Cut and a lot of time on their hands needs to make this into a real movie. posted by the wind at 6:34 AM on January 15, 2005

It's just a script? What a rip-off! (I was expecting the actual thing...) posted by sexymofo at 7:31 AM on January 15, 2005
I just read that all the way through. It's actually not bad.
But -- but someone spent an awful lot of time putting that together. I'm 80% impressed, 20% scared, and 20% eager to see a version of this in some teeny black box theatre, which is the only possibly place it could ever see the light of day. posted by chicobangs at 8:17 AM on January 15, 2005
And that's 120% anticipation, so somebody better get on it before chicobangs explodes! posted by cortex at 9:29 AM on January 15, 2005
Hey waitiminute! That's 120 percent!

I will not be able to watch the Muppets, the Rocky Horror Picture Show or attend a con again without thinking of this. And giggling.

Some of the references seem a bit tacky/nerdy, but the consitency and the concept of eaten sheet music is absolutely astounding.
Too bad the rights to this would be impossible to get. >_< posted by themadjuggler at 10:30 AM on January 15, 2005

It's the Muppets meets Rocky Horror. This redefines tacky and nerdy. posted by NickDouglas at 2:03 PM on January 15, 2005
Not bad at all! This was actually quite close to the calibre of the original show. posted by orange swan at 3:42 PM on January 15, 2005

Jesus, they actually PERFORMED this?
Un-be-fucking-lievable. posted by teferi at 8:47 PM on January 15, 2005
tefari - all kinds of stuff gets performed at Filk cons. I suspect, although do not know this for a fact, that this playlet was the focus performance on Saturday night.
[A filk con/filk festival, for those who may not know, is a weekend party with a hotel full of of people who write and/or perform filks (songs generally with a SF/Fantasy theme, sometimes written to existing songs, sometimes completely original). Filkers like to take a one line joke (like Rocky Horror Muppet Show) and run with it. OVFF is the Ohio Valley Filk Festival.]
As far as I know, it was a one-off performance (although I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again somewhere else). posted by jlkr at 9:12 PM on January 15, 2005
Actually, when I was a wee'un, I remember reading an issue of Muppet magazine (there was such a thing; the highlight was usually Miss Piggy's advice column) in which there was an extended cartoon parody of RHPS. I remember almost nothing about it as I didn't know the movie then -- but I remember that I remembered it the first time I saw the movie. posted by Epenthesis at 10:34 PM on January 15, 2005
After doing RHPS for a while, I would suspect that that may have just been a theme night and that they didn't actually perform the Rocky Horror Muppet Show -script- so much as the normal RHPS went on with characters dressed in some sort of cross-over getup. posted by taursir at 11:34 AM on January 16, 2005
