Anyone want my Muppet Hamlet casting TOO BAD you’re getting it
Hamlet: Gonzo the Great (he deserves this, argue with the wall)
Gertrude: Miss Piggy (hear me out! Think of the drama)
Claudius: Fozzie Bear (the man deserves to play against type and also a Claudius that cracks bad jokes is such a fun choice and it would make the audience understand Hamlet’s hatred so much) (also also Fozzie and Kermit are best friends so it really amps up that betrayal)
Ghost of the King: Kermit (he deserves this)
Horatio: Rizzo the Rat (in keeping with the Gonzo Hamlet theme. That’s his bestie right there)
Ophelia: Camilla the chicken (if Gonzo is Hamlet Ophelia is a Chicken. I don’t make the rules)
Laertes: I actually think it would kill to have Laertes be the one human of the piece and for the purposes of my dream casting he’s played by David Tennant
Polonius: Ralph the dog (no I will not provide reasoning other than I’m right)
The players: Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem (because a rock song about the murder of king hamlet would go so crazy and Hamlet taking drum sticks from Animal instead of a recorder is a brilliant take)
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: Dr. Honeydew and Beaker (can you IMAGINE the argument between Guildenstern and Hamlet but it’s just Meeps! I’m right about this too. Argue with the wall)
Fortinbras: Sam the Eagle (now that’s a man I want leading my freshly war-torn, newly monarchless country)
Osric: Swedish Chef (this was a suggestion by a friend who played Osric and it’s so dead on iykyk)
