“Puppet Up! — Uncensored,” an adults-only improv show featuring puppets instead of people, comes from the Jim Henson Company — but don’t expect Kermit the Frog singing “It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Blue.”
First, these are puppets, not Muppets: In 2004, the Mouse ate the Frog — that is, the Walt Disney Co. acquired the Muppet characters, including Kermit and Miss Piggy, for $90 million. Second, “Puppet Up!” which will perform tonight at the Avalon Hollywood theater, does not include recognizable characters from other TV shows and movies that have featured Henson Company characters, including “Sesame Street,” “Dinosaurs” and “Fraggle Rock.”
