The documentary features new interviews with Henson's children, Rita Moreno (who guested on The Muppet Show), Jennifer Connelly (Labyrinth) and Frank Oz and Michael Firth. Jim Henson Idea Man takes us into the mind of this singular creative visionary, from his early years puppeteering on local television to the worldwide success of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and beyond.

Experience the magic of SESAME STREET THE MUSICAL at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA. Join your favorite characters for a show filled with music, laughter, and learning.

Should you avoid seeing the show? For God’s sake, no. You will miss what is surely going to be one of the most talked about pieces of work in Houston’s theatrical history. Go see it, and make your own call whether you love or hate it. But don’t let them brainwash you into thinking this is only about love because it is also about repulsion, and that is okay. It is very much as if David Cronenberg and David Lynch made a movie, and Jim Henson designed the sex scenes.
