Tanya Haden

Tanya Haden is an artist, cellist, puppeteer, and singer who performed as a background puppeteer for The Muppets (2011) and Muppets Most Wanted. I don't know why she did only two Muppet projects which was basically a film and a sequel. Tanya could have assisted the Muppets for their live shows in either the Hollywood Bowl or the O2 Arena or on the TV series The Muppets. Outside of her work with the Muppets, Haden has married Jack Black (who appears in the film) and have two children. It is amazing that someone who performed with the Muppets has married a famous movie actor and big rock star. Tanya also supplied the voice of the smitten bunny in Black's film Kung Fu Panda. I've also read that she is one of the triplet daughters of jazz bassist Charlie Haden, and is the co-creator of the puppet play called Imaginary Bear. At least Tanya got a chance at working with puppets outside her time with the Muppets. She is also an animator as evidenced in the short Lint People where she was credited as an assistant animator. Her musician work has come into use for the film Bernie, where she played a vocalist. I just wish that Tanya Haden would continue to work with the Muppets because it's a big deal to travel the world entertaining people with the Muppets. I mean sure she works alongside a famous actor, musician, and singer Jack Black, but that feels like only one person. When working with the Muppets, it's like a whole society of puppeteers working together in various projects. I hope that someday Tanya will think about how much fun she had with the Muppets. Tanya Haden, you're very lucky to be married to a famous person. I hope you keep working alongside your husband with all the concerts and films that he'll be starring in. And maybe someday you'll think about doing work with the Muppets again whenever you're in California again. I mean two projects with the Muppets are not enough to be a Muppet puppeteer. Maybe when you have a chance, if Jack Black ever guest stars with the Muppets again, you could ask the Muppets if you can assist again. You just keep doing what you're good at doing and you'll become remembered forever just like your husband. Good job!
