Kermit - Jesus
Miss Piggy - Mary Magdalene
Fozzie - Judas
Scooter - Simon Zealotes
Gonzo - King Herod
Oscar - Pontius Pilate
Statler & Waldorf - Caiaphas & Annas
It simply cries out for it. Piggy singing “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”…and of course this deathless lyric:
“I wash my hands of your demolition!
Die if you want to, you innocent Mup-pet!”

Missy Piggy obviously plays Janet Leigh’s role. For those who think Kermit would be the wrong choice for Norman Bates, think about the final scene, where the fly lands on Norman/Mother and picture Kermit thinking…
“Why he wouldn’t even hurt a fly. That’s what they’ll say. He wouldn’t even hurt a fly. SLURP!”
I suddenly have a vision of the Muppets version of Seven, with Elmo kneeling in front of Kermit, who is gesticulating wildly and shouting “WHAT’S IN THE BOX?!?!”
Sampiro - as someone who has watched The Godfather an indecent number of times (and has a cat called Enzo The Baker), that was just brilliant. Brilliant!
Miss Piggy:“Kermie, I will NOT be IGNORED! I’l tell your wife!”
Kermit grabbs her by the throat and pins her to the wall, Saying:
“Call my wife…and I’ll barbecue you.”
I think Muppet Fiction is my favorite so far. But I’d cast Rowlff in the Marcellus role, just so whoever plays Jules could yell “Does Rowlff look like a bitch?”
