My wife and I recently went to see Stuffed and Unstrung by Henson Alternative (Jim Henson’s son Brian’s company). Picture Whose Line Is It Anyway with puppets (can’t say Muppets since Disney owns them) and make it dirty (similar to Avenue Q) and this is the show we saw. Six performers improvised skits with suggestions given by the audience. I must say that this group of entertainers were excellent puppeteers and improvisers, although some skits did fall flat. My wife felt that Colleen Smith was the best of the bunch. Most of the skits were raunchy and sexually oriented with curse words tossed in, but they also re-created two routines that Jim Henson created early in his career. You definitely will think twice the next time you see a puppet, that’s for sure. Overall though, we gave it a 5.5 out 10.
