Personally, I think Jim Henson said it best when he said "Anybody got an aspirin? I think I've got a cold. "
We wanted to premiere it in New York, because New York is sort of the home of the Jim Henson Company and it's sort of the tone and flavor, always, of the puppet work that we've done traditionally. And that's what brought us here and now we're here.
Jim Henson was an absolute genius.
I was a great fan of Jim Henson.
No one employed [ chaos] better than Jim Henson, by the way, on The Muppets. He had all these chicken Muppets that just brought in the most glorious chaos to whatever scene they were a part of.
