The Muppet Show On Tour: 2nd Edition program book.
VEE Corporation presented "The Muppet Show on Tour: 2nd Edition" stage show in 1985, a follow-up to 1984's "The Muppet Show On Tour". The show was written by Michael Kirschenbaum, and the costumes were once again built by Henson Associates, Inc.
Most notable is the exclusion of Steve Whitmire from the credits. He is featured in a stock photo of the performers, but Rizzo and his other characters were absent from the show. Instead Chester and Yolanda were featured.
The Rats, Camilla, and Robin were all hand puppets, and not full bodied costumes.
