Went with a friend and had an absolute blast! It was so neat to see the puppeteers in action and thinking on their feet. A very memorable show and worth the watch!

Lots of talented folks - a new twist on improv. I also loved the throw-back to some of the old school Jim Henson skits, being a big muppet fan myselft.

Laughing........wait for the next "PUPPET UP'...............Laughing..........wait for the next "PUPPET UP" and so on! The show gave us a look at how Jim Henson's puppeteers performed under the puppets and the fact their minds were quick enough to come up with comedy off the top of their heads. We really had a great time which ended several hours too soon...... but I suppose they get tired quicker than me sitting there watching and laughing at it all!

this show was so funny! The people that operated the muppets were so good at improvising. It is hard to describe all that went on, but suffice it to say that everyone from the emcee (he was great!) to the scraggly muppet that loved brussel sprouts! Just so funny...great show!

Saw them in Chicago twice!! Incredible. Anyone who is a Muppet fan MUST SEE!! Not only is the show hilarious and smart, but fascinating as well. Watching the puppeteers dance as they would hand off and catch puppets that require more than one person to manipulate was mesmerizing. Run don't walk!

I'd never been to an improv show that I paid for and this was a great intro. The improv guys really know how to work on the fly and the only reason why the show would suck would be because of you. Love the audience participation as well.

As a fan of improv and a fan of Jim Hensen's team of puppeteers, I was expecting a lot. Besides some awkward moments and a relatively short show, I was very impressed and definitely laughed a lot!

I bought tickets to see this due to my love of puppets and all things Henson. I knew that it would be geared for an adult audience. I wasn't expecting it to be as hilarious at it was. The puppeteers were legit comedians in addition to being master puppeteers. The moderator kept the improv moving in a fun and engaging way. I didn't expect to laugh as hard as I did. I loved it. I wished it had been longer...or I gotten tickets to two of the performances. I'd definitely go see this again. And I've already been recommending it to my family and friends.

Stuffed and Unstrung was so funny. Puppeteer Colleen was probably the funniest one. I love how the show lets you behind the scenes by watching the puppeteers.
I tried to take one picture with my cell phone and was told I had to delete it, which was a little disappointing.

Stuffed and unstrung was amazing. This was a father's day gift, so the show was funny enough to go with parents and not too inappropriate to feel completely awkward. When the host of the show said they were going to do their last scene, my dad thought only 45 minutes had gone by when it had really been an hour and a half. The audience participation made it interactive and amazing to see what they could come up with in just seconds. Another great part was that twice throughout the show they reenacted skits that were created in 1956, 1960s - it was great to see what they were like when they first started. The puppeteers had soo many puppets on stage with them and incorporated a computer for an electronic puppet at one point - it was cool to see how things have changed.

This was great fun. The improv performers are also puppeteers using Henson puppets and technology to present an improv comedy show. Many laughs.

One of the funniest shows we've seen. Improv at its best; would see it again since the content is always fresh. You'll laugh and cry (from laughing).

This show was fantastic!
I've never been a big fan of improv...the improvised songs on topics thrown out by the audience usually sound forced and lame, the sketches made up as they go along are either dull with an occasional funny moment, or a potentially funny moment sparked by one of the comedians is fumbled and not capitalized on by the other actors. BUT NOT THIS SHOW!
The wit was razor sharp, the material was fresh and hysterical!
Even when one of the puppeteers stumbled with adlibbing...they protrayed that stumble through the puppet which turned the otherwise awkward moment of stumbling into mad hilarity.
Puppeteers Colleen Smith and Drew Massey were especially hysterical. I am in LOVE with Colleen!
The array of voices and personalities in all of those wild puppets was amazing. If I had had tickets, I would have gone to this show the next day, and the day after! Because it would always be a different show.
LOVED IT!

The tickets were out of my price range and if I had not unexpectedly fallen into some money I would NEVER have seen this show.
The show it's self was great. Very smart, very fluid and the skill level of the performers was out of this world.
Very very clever and entertaining.

This production was really amusing, however, it would fair better in a comedy club or smaller setting. Given the price for a short hour and half show, I don't feel I got my money's worth.

Muppets meet Second City in the Second City.
Great show. Lots of laughs. Cast is terriffic in making the best out of random suggestions from the audiance. We had a great time.
Use of muppets rather than focusing on the actors helps you focus on the dialogue.
