Kermit the Frog Joins Illusionist Rob Lake's Broadway Debut

In a major career milestone, world-renowned illusionist Rob Lake has brought his lifelong passion project to the Broadway stage. From October 28 to November 16, 2025, Lake's new show "Rob Lake Magic with Special Guests The Muppets" is captivating audiences at the Broadhurst Theatre.

For Lake, this moment represents the culmination of decades spent perfecting his craft, inspired by the legendary magicians who paved the way on Broadway's historic Vaudeville stages. Joining him on this journey are some of the most recognizable faces in entertainment history: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Animal, and Rowlf make special guest appearances throughout the show.

Kermit the Frog, in particular, has been fascinated by the art of magic, reflecting on how the "Rainbow Connection" song he famously performed has many references to illusions and spells. The beloved Muppet has been keeping a close eye on Lake's rehearsals, though he admits he still can't figure out how the illusionist pulls off his tricks.

As Lake continues to captivate audiences with his signature spectacle, blending classic Muppet humor with his own brand of wonder and inspiration, the magic of this Broadway collaboration shines brighter than ever.
