All of the Broadway “families” and Disney “families” coming together has my ENTIRE HEART! Also as someone who wants to be in the Broadway pit the violin solo and duet HIT DIFFERENT EVERY TIME!

I've been crying about Will Roland's "I've heard them calling my name" countermelody since May 31, 2020, and now I'm so glad the rest of the world can too

Anyone else find Taylor and Ben Levi Ross’s part to be screeching and shrill amidst otherwise talented singers ?

"That's the kinda dream that gets better the more people you share it with" This is what Henson meant. It must be.

This song makes me feel all the feels. I miss her. I’m not ready to grow up. I’m not ready to move on.

That was the perfect song for the perfect time back then during the pandemic. I know Paul Williams and Kenny Asher who wrote the song and Kermit The Frog who sang it would have been very pleased! And I bet Jim Henson was smiling down on everybody. As a huge fan of Kermit and the Muppets, I love this! You all did a great job!
