The Emperor's New Clothes
Show Characters


To the royal court, this person was known as Mr. Sew. His real name is Miggot, and he is one of two con men who have just arrived in the realm. He cheerfully does whatever his partner tells him to - except keep his mouth shut!

Quotes: "But Zif...y'told that lady that if she wanted to get rid of the freckles on her face...we could get rid of them her for her."

"Some smart tailor is gonna get rich...beyond his wildest dreams...I wish we knew him. We could borrow a few pennies for a sandwich."

"You said to use my imagination--"

Notes: The goofy, slightly obtuse Miggot was portrayed by Doug Shapiro (above).

For his BBT audition, Doug sang the Oscar Meyer theme song - in Spanish! (It's even listed as one of the skills on his resumé.)


Here are some photos of Doug as Miggot:

Miggot works the concession stand
A pair of rascally con men
Zif scolds his partner
The royal court listens to the con men's plans
The tailors are hard at "work"
