Impersonating Muppets is easy, young man. Doing so in tune is harder.

Chef Refuted is probably the high point.

And Fozzie with a bad French accent is golden.

Camilla as Angelica Schuyler, so Satisfied is amazing.

"Fozzie, slow down! You're rushin'!"
"Really? I thought I was French!"

Was anybody else honestly disappointed that it was audio only?

It's just one guy doing all the voices.

Now that this exists, I will never be satisfied until the actual Muppets do it with visuals.

I love both of these things, and appreciate the effort that went into this.
That said, turning the very bright Angelica into Camilla doesn't sit right with me. If Miss Piggy is Eliza, then Denise, who is also a pig, could easily be Angelica.
(Side note: The Muppets, excluding Sesame Street, have a serious lack of female characters problem, which doesn't help in this endeavor.)

I was howling over "Chef Refuted," and then Animal came in as King George III for "You'll Be Back" and I really lost it.

There are some specific things about this that I would do differently. . . but, it's also given men the first belly-laughs of the week. Thanks!

"given me." *sigh*
Perhaps, also, men in general, if my experience is typical.

(Listening to the whole thing all the way through rather than skipping around, I just got to Farmer Refuted and You'll be Back. I am in tears. The good kind of tears.)

Now someone has to sync this to the movie, like they did for the Hamilton Polka.

I have had the soundtrack album for ages, haven't listened yet. Literally bought a new Apple TV so I could get D+ and watch HamilFilm with quality sound and picture. I just listened to like 10 minutes of this and i refuse to go any further. I don't want this to be my first exposure to Hamilton in its entirety because it will ruin the actual thing for me forever.
Very clever though. And I look forward to soon listening. I wonder if he's going to Act II.

Somehow I don't see 'Quiet Up Town' working in Muppet form... For starters.

I wish I liked this more, but Angelica turning into a clucking chicken and Gonzo's sandpaper voice are getting on my nerves.

I clicked on Guns and Ships fully knowing what would happen, and I still cracked up. I wish everyone's rhythm were a little better, though.

Any time I need a good cry, I watch the video of Goelz singing “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday” at Jim Hendon’s memorial service.
