Miss Piggy’s ideas about performativity find their genesis in those of her predecessor Kermit.  While she is clearly a leader in creating the “me generation,” her famous line “The show depends on moi” carries more weight than is normally attributed to it.  Taken out of the context of her speech and seen in the context of her often self-serving actions, the line figures Miss Piggy as a prima donna, a diva who thinks the show is all about her.  But placed in the proper context of her entire speech, the line reads, “The show depends on moi and what the people think of moi.”  This is much more closely aligned with the ideas of Enlightenment thinker Kermit the frog, who holds that performativity always presupposes an audience, that the only way for a performance to hold any meaning is to be performed for someone, even if that performance is a rehearsal held for the director.  Take the director away and you strip the actors of the self consciousness they need to be actors; they are, according to Kermit, "but people on a stage reciting lines."  His “We have a show to give for you tonight,” in fact, presupposes a listener, someone who has come in anticipation of seeing a show.  The second line of this address, “And we will please you if we do it right,” not only points for the first time in performativity theory to the purpose of the actors but also implies that something will be wrong, not ”right,” with the show if the audience is not pleased.  Miss Piggy’s acknowledgement of the audience’s predilections and the reliance of the show on those predilections also presupposes the audience.  Without “the people” the show depends on, Miss Piggy’s performance would not exist.  In fact, neither would her diva status, as popularity, regardless of how snobbish it makes the popular, always depends upon the admiration of others.
