The guest star for episode three is star of stage and screen, Joel Grey.

Grey also appeared inChicagoand most recently the Broadway production ofWicked.

Grey performsWillkommenfromCabaretandRazzle DazzlefromChicagoand excels in both performances, which is not unexpected, given his familiarity with the material.

There are also some great sketches in this musical dominated episode.

Their previous involvements had been short vignettes, albeit fantastic ones.

Throughout his guest appearance, Grey interacts brilliantly with the Muppet cast, fully embracing his role.

Fozzies sketch with Statler and Waldorf, and Rowlfs Sherlock Holmes sketch deliver plenty of laughs.
