Muppet audio-animatronics are utilized throughout the theater, as well as a walkaround Sweetums. This show begins by taking you on a tour of the Muppet Vision labs and hilarious hi-jinks ensue. All of the classic Muppets are present for this amazing show, and it was one of the last projects that Jim Henson himself worked on before his passing.
