It's time to play the music, light the lights, and roll out the
red carpet as we welcome our first guest to have worked on The
Muppet Show -- Louise Gold! She joined the Jim Henson Company
during the legendary show's second season where she performed Annie
Sue Pig, Lou, and sang in countless musical numbers. Louise also
appeared in Spitting Image, The Great Muppet Caper, The Dark
Crystal, The Furchester Hotel, and more -- on top of a huge list of
theater credits from the West End. You can see her in the upcoming
Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance when it
premieres in August.
We'll talk to Louise about her life-long interest in the performing
arts, struggling to balance her career as both a traditional actor
and puppeteer and how she's rediscovered her love of puppetry in
recent years. Plus, we'll get some first-hand stories about the
"dysfunctional family" of performers behind The Muppet Show.
