The Muppet Show on Tour: 2nd Edition

thumb|300px|right|The Muppet Show On Tour: 2nd Edition TV commercial.
VEE Corporation presented The Muppet Show on Tour: 2nd Edition stage show in 1985, a follow-up to 1984's The Muppet Show: On Tour! The show was written by Michael Kirschenbaum, and the costumes were once again built by Henson Associates, Inc.
Most notable is the exclusion of Steve Whitmire from the credits. He is featured in a stock photo of the performers, but Rizzo and his other characters were absent from the show. Instead, Chester Rat and Yolanda Rat were featured -- Chester's vocals were performed by Dave Goelz, and Yolanda's by Karen Prell.
The Rats, Camilla, and Robin were all hand puppets, and not full-body costumes.
The "Spring Factory" sequence also included Mr. Summerfall Winter and the Robbers; no vocal talent is listed in the credits for these characters.
