BUFFALO, NY ( WKBW ) If you like puppets, then Channel 7's Mike Randall is going to take you to "Puppet Paradise!"
Mike Randall recently caught up with Adam Kreutinger, the creator of some cool characters.
Mike says Adam starts out with a creative idea, a bit of foam - fabric - a few stitches - and a huge dose of imagination!
The results - impressive!
After graduation with a degree in Art Education, Adam's passion for puppets began just a few years ago. Currently, he is creating a cast of characters for the upcoming MusicalFare production of "Avenue Q" - a show described as an adult "Sesame Street."
Adam works with the actors who will bring his puppet characters to life. One of those actors is Maria Droz. Droz says she is not surprised by Adam's penchant for producing puppets. She is the force behind his character, "Mrs. T.!"
If you want to catch Adam's puppet pals in action, make sure you check out "Avenue Q" - if you are over the age of 18 ! The show opens at MusicalFare theater January 25th.

@@PuppetNerd one day I got this puppet. It was a frog puppet and it was $59 yeah and then I started to want to build puppets and I made this blue monster. It doesn’t have arms or legs. It was just a simple puppet and then I started getting puppets like a sheep, a cow a dog, you know

Dude I went to Ave Q in NYC years ago before I got into making puppets. Like 09. Can't believe you had a hand in that. Very cool.

[@GeorgesEpicLego]

Brilliant!!!! Keep up the good work, you've performed in Bath ( England ) before and we went past the theatre that it happened!!!! Also there is an Avenue Q poster in our school!!!!!

[@oldfriend212]

WAIT ADAM STARTED ALL OF THIS?!?!?!

[@DoughnutJunkie]

These diy puppets, are a blessing. I’ve been want to do more volunteer work with our local church and puppets are always a hit. These are perfect for updating 30 to 40 year old puppets. Have you made anything for puppet sets, or how people function behind the scenes?

Wow you go way back with the puppet theme. I'm learning a lot from you every time I watch one of your videos. I didn't know you were such a celebrity. Very Cool. Hey my puppet music video is shaping up and I ready to add one more character. The Bass player. Having loads of fun and totally understand why you've done it all these years. Will keep in touch when I start shooting. Take care

[@J0LaPi]

Congrats! If I still lived in Rochester, I'd be driving out to see the show. Break a leg! (or would it be more appropriate to say "an arm-rod"?)

[@NinaJoestar]

Well well who is this handsome gentleman 🧐🤔☺

[@Superstarseven]

Is that your own take on Trekkie monster at the end of the report there? Was his design based on Murray Monster? Besides the meaner look, there's a great resemblance.

[@BombasticBear]

What is the hardest Puppet you have ever made?

[@PuppetNerd]

The Baby Yoda.

[@BombasticBear]

Ok

[@PuppetNerd]

Nope. All natural.

[@valors]

[@aline2857]

What's the name of the song that plays in the background?

[@PuppetNerd]

It must be music owned by the news station. I really don’t know.

[@muppetlover16]

An evil Murray Monster or an even grouchier Oscar the Grouch not Cookie Monster

[@789productions9]

You’ve been on Sesame Street?!?! That’s my dream!

[@PuppetNerd]
