Since Sunset Boulevard and Jesus Christ Supermuppet have been mentioned, what about Evita? Eva Peron is an obvious role for Miss Piggy.
Grover can be Che, and Kermit Peron.
You’d think Andrew Lloyd Webber and Henson Productions would get together on a project.
The tag line to this could be It’s Nothing personal. It’s Show Business.
The Swedish Chef for the " Which watch?" " Ten Watch" scene. or whatever they say. It could be verbatim. A perfect homage for the perfect muppet.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Maggie…Miss Piggy
Brick…Kermit
Big Daddy…Cookie Monster
I can see Piggy bringing a certain authority and forcefullness to the role of Maggie, and I think Cookie Monster has the right genial authority to be Big Daddy.
Metropolis
Joh Frederson…Kermit
Maria/the Robot…Miss Piggy
Rotwang…Swedish Chef
I can’t decide who would play Freder Frederson (Rowlf, Gonzo, Sam the Eagle?), but tell me you wouldn’t want to see the Swedish Chef in the original mad scientist’s lab throwing the levers and switches to create his robot Piggy.
Ghostbusters
with
Gonzo as Egon
Fozzie as Ray

Oscar as Winston
Scooter as Louis
Janice as Janine

One Muppet Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
R.P. McMurphy: Animal

The Blues Brothers is the perfect muppet movie.
Kermit - Elwood Blues
Gonzo - Jake Blues
Miss Piggy - The Nun (name?)
Fozzie in John Candy’s role
Animal and Rizzo as members of the country/western group.
Beaker and Dr. Bunson Honeydew as the two cops chasing them.
I can see the scene with their deaths: Beaker "Mimimimimimi!
This is not exactly in the spirit of this thread, but I remember thinking, shortly before I walked out on Moulin Rouge, that this might have worked if they had cast it with Muppets.
