This one is not my idea--this is the superlative Glen Weldon's idea, forged in the fires of college (as are many Things That Should Exist), and first brought to my attention on the most happily entertaining podcast ever, Pop Culture Happy Hour.
But come on. Jesus Christ, Superfrog? Kermit as Jesus, obviously. Piggy as Mary Magdalene. The Count as whatsisface, the guy who washes his hands. Bert and Ernie as Caiaphas and Annas. Robin as the Apostle Peter. Gonzo as King Herod. Sweetums as any angel, at all. Possibly doubled, as the ones announcing the resurrection to Mary the mother of James and Piggy/Magdalene. (Is that even in the musical? Doesn't matter. Sweetums needs to be an angel, period.)
Doesn't this story just CRY OUT for large, Muppety choruses a la the wedding scene in Muppets Take Manhattan, exuberant or mournful as the case may be?
More (but not enough, because nothing short of THE ACTUAL SHOW PLUS DVD EXTRAS would be enough) here.
PLEASE UNIVERSE PLEASE. Although, in this case, "universe" should possibly be pronounced "Jason Segal."
