Henson Alternative Stuffed and Unstrung (Chicago) Tickets

The puppeteering was remarkable. The improv was ok. A fun show, but maybe a little overpriced. Certainly unique, though

Puppets became alive as individual personalities, both with the design of the puppet and the voices of the puppeteers. The high energy level of puppeteers should have distracted from personal involvement but did not. The strategic location of the audience's screens made it possible to move attention easily from the puppeteers to the puppets. In fact, the personalities for the puppets were so real that you forgot the puppeteers. The voices, pitch, timber, accents all contributed to the reality if the situations.

an amazing show!! go twice!! the henson company never fails to entertain. just get better seats if you can! the third balcony is not the best!

Very funny! My fiancé recommended it , I had my doubts but after seeing it I would recommend it very highly. Super funny.

Improv. Very clever and entertaining. Great audience participation. Wonderful classic Henson bits. Not really for kids - maybe teens.

If you want to laugh harder than you have in months, go to see Stuffed and Unstrung. Loved it!! We took our adult 30-something children and all of us thought it was hilarious!!

Great/unique format and absolutely hilarious! Don't take the kiddies though.

What a fantastic show. I can't believe the talent and quick wit of the artists. I laughed the entire show and enjoyed the improv suggestions given by the audience. It was great seeing the puppets in a grown up setting! A really good time!

Loved the show—sooooooo happy I conned a friend into going with me. Worth every second. I laughed. I cackled. I screamed "oh no you didn't." Go see it. Now granted, its improv so if your audience suggestions suck, the show could go south. But I'm pretty sure this crew could handle it. Go!

The sound in the balcony was terrible. We could only catch about half of what they were saying. I have seen several stage musicals in this same theater sitting up there and never had this problem. I think we would have loved this show if we would have been able to hear what they were saying.

Just like any other improv show - this one just has a few "set" pieces - not every bit hits the mark, but judged with and compared to other improv shows, this one's a hoot. The seasoned puppeteers are also seasoned improv performers: very quick, clever and creative, and fairly scatological senses of humor. They have their puppets do things on stage (based on suggestions from the audience) that would be banned if real people or animals were doing them. Just go with an open mind, leave your sensibilities at home, and be prepared to laugh...and if a bit falls flat just wait for the next one. It's also really interesting to compare what you see on the giant monitors - muppets only - with what you see down below - the performers doing their thing.

Fantastic improv show with puppets and their humans. "Behind the scenes" look at what really is happening when puppets are "acting" on the screen. The comedy was so funny....laugh out loud funny. Puppets who swear are funny. Go see it before it leaves town!

Stuffed and unstrung was so much fun! The performers were incredible. I don't know how they managed to work the puppets and come up with their clever improvisations simultaneously but I was very impressed. The show was 90 minutes but it felt like it flew by. MC and musical director made the transitions seamless. My friends and I highly recommend this show to everyone (over 18). PUPPET UP!

We've been seeing a lot of improv comedy lately, so we weren't as impressed by the on-the-spot songs, etc. I think muppets are really fun and funny already, so the fact that they swore and told vulgar jokes didn't appeal to us too much. They were all very talented and it was fun, just not something you need to rush out and see. Also, it seemed really short.

I really enjoyed Stuffed and Unstrung-definitely and orginal way to lokk at improv.
