Leslie Carrara-Rudolph

Leslie Carrara-Rudolph is a puppeteer, actress and voice actress who is best known for playing Abby Cadabby and Tango on Sesame Street as well as other characters. She has also voiced several animated characters in many segments. For the Muppets, Leslie has performed on Muppets Tonight, A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa, The Muppets (2011), and The Muppets Mayhem. Carrara also performed on Henson Company shows, such as The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss (replacing Kathryn Mullen), Animal Jam, Julie's Greenroom and on Splash & Bubbles. She's also worked for Henson Alternative on Puppet Up and Late Night Buffet. Her outside puppetry work has been seen on Blue's Room, Johnny and the Sprites, Donkey Hodie, and in several clubs and events in NY and CA as the candy-obsessed Lolly. As a voice actress, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph is heard on The Electric Company revival, All Grown Up, and T.U.F.F Puppy, to name a few. Not only is she awesome at puppeteering but at voice acting as well. It amazes me how she can turn a young fairy into a huge superstar. Leslie has even acted on-stage and screen several times. Carrara was often paired with John Tartaglia, Tim Lagasse, Brian Henson, and Joey Mazzarino, to name a few. The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland was her first job with Sesame Street before returning years later to become a main performer. It was smart of the producers to bring her back to do Abby Cadabby and later Tango. Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, you're a fantastic puppeteer, voice actress, and an ordinary actress. Keep up the great job on Sesame Street and with the Muppets too. You have really brought the magic on that show. Great work Leslie. You're magical Carrara!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
