Two shows you would never have seen. The first is Aliens - the Puppet Musical by Meat and Potato Theater in Salt Lake City, UT. A wildly wonderful Avenue Q-esque take on the movie Aliens. The second was a dinner theater version of The Pirates of Penzance that had 6 actors, one of whom portrayed a pirate with two pirates puppets in the first act, and the police Sargeant with two police puppets in the first party of act two, and swapped out one of the police puppets of a pirate in the second half of act two. This pirate puppet also turns out to be a woman in disguise. The puppeteer did 7 distinct voices through the course of the show and nearly lost his mind. It was wonderful!

My favorite puppet is pretty simple- it’s Olaf from “Frozen: Live! at the Hyperion”. It was essentially a boiled down version of the Frozen musical that played at Disney’s California Adventure park. It had a live actor dressed as a Arendelle citizen who spoke the lines and sung while puppeteering a height appropriate Olaf. The show also had a puppet of Sven, the reindeer.

That War Horse puppet is so incredibly expressive, it's a real testament to its designers and performers when audience members think they saw it blink its eyes or change entirely mid-show. And the puppeteers were just right there onstage, too. Amazing.

I'd never heard about the Narnia puppets until now, but I /adore/ all the choices they made with Aslan. Making him a multi-puppeteer puppet to convey his movement? Wonderful. The terracotta look to simultaneously avoid hitting 'uncanny valley' teritory with pseudo-realism? Lovely. Making him both a human actor and a puppet depending on what the scene called for, because the entire story is magical and the visual metaphor blends well, getting the best of both worlds? Fantastic. There's a very fun bit in the Into the Woods tour (the one with /this/ Milky White, anyway) where when she gets stolen, another actor flat out /grabs the puppet from Kanagawa and runs offstage, leaving him staring in shock/. 10/10 cow, no notes.

At first I was a bit surprised there was no mention of My Neighbour Totoro. It's easily the best show playing in London at the moment, and the puppetry far eclipses anything in this video, but I guess it must be because they go out of there way to keep the big reveals a secret, so there's not much to see on the internet. But trust me, when you first see big Totoro, you cry. You just do. It's the most beautiful production I've ever seen in a theatre.

In 2023, nearly all of the shows I saw contained puppets but, of the six shows I saw, two had puppets that gave me powerful emotions. When I saw Lord of the Rings in September, the Nazgûl were beautifully portrayed by these skeleton horse puppets that had this unsettling yet charming feeling to them, but that was nothing compared to Shelob, a giant spider puppet that filled my body with fear, despite the fact that it was only a head and four legs, it felt like there was a real spider taking up the entire stage, preparing to kill Frodo. Alternatively, all the way back in January, I saw My Neighbour Totoro and, by god, the puppets that the Jim Henson Creature Shop made for that show were gorgeous. Every single puppet brought so much joy to me, from the chickens and the goats to the soot sprites and the cat bus. The show used several Totoro puppets, depending on the scene, each filled with a lot of charm but, when Totoro first appeared as this giant sleeping puppet splayed out and taking up the entire stage, you could sense this magical feeling spreading throughout the entire audience and, honestly, I’d do anything to experience that again.

I played Milky White in my theater and I chose to copy James Ortiz's design. (I researched if he copyrighted the design and couldn't find anything, besides, this was for highschool theater and we didn't make anything off of it.) And let me tell you, the whole cast and crew fell in love with her even though I made her from the contents of my recycle bin and hot glue. The mechanics were the same and I didn't even have money to buy fancy stuff and it still turned out fantastically. This comment is just saying that James Ortiz is a genius who created probably the best design for a single person operated, full bodied, cheap and easy to make puppet (which was fantastic for my incredibly tiny theater group, seriously, don't do Into the Woods with a small group, we only had four techies it was a nightmare) Broadway probably has and also made this stage-frightened techie with a love for puppetry go on stage for the first (and only) time sheerly for the absolute delight of seeing his Milky White for the first time and falling in love with it.

I've loved horses since I was a kid and I've ridden for many years. When I saw War Horse, it took *seconds* for my brain to fully accept "yeah, that's a horse." From the baby colt puppet at the very beginning, between the build of the puppets and the incredible performance of the puppeteers, the horses move so correctly--it is absolutely mind blowing. Yes, you can see the puppeteers the whole time, it does not matter at all, you cannot convince yourself you're not looking at a living breathing creature.

I love theatre, and the fact that the level of willingness towards the suspension of disbelief is so high. I love that we can present things in such a magical way which would never be acceptable in film. I also, for the most part, love when theatre creatives are willing to go out on a limb and deviate from the traditional. With that being said, there is one issue which I simply cannot waiver, and that is a puppet Milky White. Call me a traditionalist if you must, but the original Milky White was such an ingenious idea, if for nothing more than that brilliant sight gag of The Baker grabbing her by the handle and running across the stage. And yes, I know that even that one had a mechanism so it could eat the objects at the end of Act I.

One link sadly but understandably missing is the National Theatre’s 2003 hit stage adaptation of His Dark Materials. Michael Curry created the puppets, and their construction was inspired by those kind of lanterns made of willow frames with tissue paper skins. Lit from within, these puppets had an ethereal quality perfect for their subjects (they were used most prominently for the ‘daemons’, the animal-shaped spirit companions of a lot of the human characters). Their staging was also inspired partly by bunkaru as well as other branches of Japanese theatre. There were some really clever things gone with the puppets and puppeteers to convey certain ideas and Thebes from the books. Unfortunately being from 2003 the production is barely archived. You can find production images of the puppets but not really any video.

There are moments like that throughout the show that couldn't have happened in, let's say, the other version I saw where she is played by an actor just wearing a cowbell. That one had it's own comedy that relied on the fact that she was clearly played by a male actor and is consistantly declared to be a female cow by Jack's mom. Having a puppet Milky White changes a lot of those comedy beats in the show.

The puppeteer was also playing Rapunzel. This version was explicitly in the imagination of the narrator who was a child filling in the details of stories his widowed father told him with stuff he’d seen so there was a lot of interesting design choices.
