Trivia
Of all the musical numbers they cooked up for the show, the one the producers were most proud of was created from Harry Belafonte's request for a meaningful piece, which had the singer singing "Turn the World Around" with puppets made to resemble traditional African tribal masks. Harry Belafonte also sung it at Jim Henson's funeral. See more »Quotes
