I couldn't record the entire bit--I only had my regular camera--which doesn't really hold tons of video time. I've got a few snippets and I hope other folks got even more!

RED IS HOT!

[ZanyZachman]

Quote:"She's really not creating a convincing illusion, since I can both see her behind the puppet, and see her mouth move whenever the "puppet" speaks."

Karen Prell is not trying to be a ventriloquist here. It's magic along to see her with Red after all these years. it's amazing to see a performer with their original character. You will see Red and all her Fraggle pals back the way they were in the new up coming Fraggle rock movie!

@muppetlover16 Oh yeah!

[muppetlover16]

@collgoff Pam Arciero is a puppeteer who plays Oscar's girlfriend Grungetta on Sesame Street, she also assists Martin P. Robinson as Telly

[collgoff]

@muppetlover16 Good idea! But who's Pam Arciero?

[muppetlover16]

@OrangeFlaaffy Well OrangeFlaafy, take a look at Avenue Q. In their show the puppeteers are clearly present, so what do the puppets do? ignore them as if they were nothing, I mean imagine if Kate Monster was talking to the audience and you saw Stephanie D'Abruzzo's head pop up, my guess is Kate would say "Not now Steph can't you see I'm talking?" so in a way they are trying to recreate the same magic Jim Henson and crew had.

@collgoff If Jerry and Kathy can't make it, maybe Matt Vogel and Pam Arciero could be Gobo and Mokey, if Pam took over for Kathy Mullen as Leona on Between the Lions, why not Mokey Fraggle?

[muppetlover16]

@Crassygyrinus Let me just say one thing, okay two one "Jerry why must you be so sick?" and two "I HATE MATT VOGEL!!!!!!!!!" no offense Matt if your reading this

[Rtkat3]

@muppetlover16 Pam Arciero took over for Kathryn Mullen's character Leona in "Between the Lions." I have just heard on the Muppet Wikia that the proposed "Fraggle Rock" movie has been shelved.

[muppetlover16]

@Rtkat3 and if Kathy can't play Mokey, what about Pam Arciero? could she try it?

[collgoff]

@Rtkat3 Now Rtkat3 i understand all of that you said but I pretty sure everything will be fine.

[Rtkat3]

@collgoff We have not yet heard if Kathryn Mullen will be reprising Mokey Fraggle. Of course Matt Vogel managed to match the voices of some of Jerry Nelson's characters in one of the recent Muppet projects.
