An invitation was extended to Nureyev                           in October 1977, and the</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nureyev.org/artiste_acteur_muppet_show.php"><P align="justify"> episode was broadcast shortly after the release of Valentino.                           Nureyev can be seen in a parody of classical ballet accompanied                           by Miss Piggy in a "pas de deux" from "Swine                           Lake" (allusion to Swan Lake, swine meaning pig and                           a contemptible person). He also performed a tap dance                           number to the 1940's song "Putting on my top hat",                           wearing top hat and tails. Nureyev had an enormous amount                           of admiration for Fred Astaire, and it obviously gave                           him great pleasure to do this tap-dance number whilst                           falling in with the puppets' games. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nureyev.org/artiste_acteur_muppet_show.php"><P align="justify">The complete Muppet Show series was released on video                           cassette in 2001 (the episode with Nureyev is on video                           cassette no.8), and Columbia - Tristar Home Entertainment                           put the series out on DVD in March 2002.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/11F1077E-427C-4FA4-A23E-C8FD22E1E6A9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
