The Muppets Mayhem is a half-hour single camera musical-comedy series filmed in Los Angeles for Disney+. The show follows The Electric Mayhem Band as Animal, Dr. Teeth, Janice & the rest of the gang attempt to record their first-ever album, under the watchful eye of a young music executive (Lily Singh) and their super-fan turned producer (Tahj Mowry.) Muppet hilarity ensues.

With the majority of our cast as Muppets, Property Master Bethany Barton and her (talented and unstoppable) crew met new creative prop challenges daily. Special considerations had to be made for every puppet prop. Most importantly:
Size: Most props needed to be created in "Muppet scale" (usually 3/4 scale.)
Weight: Props needed to be lightweight enough to be rodded and carried overhead by puppeteers for hours on end.
Material: Muppets stain easily, so materials could not be liquid/wet, overly-pigmented, greasy, etc.

Bethany and her crew are super proud of what they created, and are thankful for this opportunity to share a selection of the wacky and wonderful props they brought to life together in the first season of this unique show.
