The Jim Henson Company has put together an adults-only, improv puppet show called "Puppet Up! - Uncensored." It operates like a regular improv show, with the audience members shouting out ideas for the puppeteers to act out. Producer/performer Brian Henson (Jim's son) said that they limit the show to adults, not to encourage R-rated material, but to allow audience members creative freedom with improv suggestions. In fact, according to the LA Times, "even with a cast of puppets that includes 12 anthropomorphic hot dogs, none has ever been used onstage to suggest any portion of the male anatomy." That disappoints us, actually. Anyway, although the show doesn't involve actual Muppets (Disney bought all the characters back in 2004), we'd still like to think that Janice wouldn't take her clothes off for anyone. Even if it is "artistic."
