The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History

The Muppets Present... Great Moments in American History is a live show at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom park that premiered in 2016, and ran until early 2020.
Performed in the Liberty Square area outside The Hall of Presidents, the show features Sam Eagle, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Liberty Square town crier James Jefferson performing comedic reenactments of moments from Colonial American history. One version of the show reenacts the events leading to the Declaration of Independence, and an alternating version retells the ride of Paul Revere.
The regular Muppet performers for the featured characters pre-recorded their dialogue, which is synchronized by the park's in-house puppeteers.
The show ran regularly from October 2, 2016 through October 5, 2019. It returned for limited runs in December 23-31, 2019,Sterling, Derek.
