About

You may enjoy this if you like upbeat musical comedy, classic Muppet-style silliness, or The Muppet Show; Not for you if relentless optimism or simple save-the-theater stories wear you out.

Pros: nostalgic charm; catchy songs; family-friendly humor | Cons: simple plot; overly chipper tone; uneven human focus
