Kermit as Nick, Piggy as Jordan, The Great Gonzo as The Great Gatsby, I've literally been saying this for yearshttps://twitter.com/hwhittenwrites/status/1342516613782904833 …

Ok but if Gonzo is Gatsby then does Daisy have to be a chicken? And what live actor would play Tom?

It depends on what direction you want to take it Pure farce, yes, Daisy is a chicken and a non-speaking role Going the Muppet Christmas Carol route you get an Oscar-nominated actress to play her

Thematically you'd either need Nick or Gatsby as the human actor as they are the outsiders trying to understand and exist in a world of wealth and privilege. I would make Daisy Piggy and Janice Jordan.

I actually strongly disagree with this (especially casting Jordan as anyone but Piggy, Jordan and Nick's relationship is the original Piggy and Kermit slap-slap-kiss thing) Nick's final long monologue in the book is him saying he and Gatsby weren't that different in the end

Jordan came off as strongly lesbian coded to me (using the stereotypes from the 20s that Fitzgerald would have been familiar with) and I just think it's funnier if everyone is horny for Ms. Piggy instead of an actress

Funnier if everyone is horny for a chicken puppet that doesn't talk

Yeah the farce version of this show absolutely has Daisy played by Camille

Ms. Piggy as Tom because she absolutely would slap Daisy

I was pulling for a live actor but if you're going to cast a Muppet to be as racist at Tom, Piggy probably is the right choice

I could see him as Fozzie Bear playing against type, as other people have noted
