Nancy O'Meara

Nancy O'Meara is a dancer and choreographer who only worked with the Muppets on an episode of Muppets Tonight as an additional performer. I'm not sure if she did puppeteer on Muppets Tonight since there is no photo of her puppeteering. Nancy is like Aurorah Allain as both women assisted in that same episode. O'Meara should try and do more work with the Muppets either as a choreographer for dance numbers or as a costumed character designed for dance. Outside of the Muppets, she has been a dancer for many productions such as Boys and Girls, Nikki, 13 Going on 30, and Clerks II, to name a few. As a choreographer, she has choreographed for many television productions like Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, & Paula Abdul: My Love Is For Real, to name a few. Nancy O'Meara must be very popular with the singers since she's currently the choreographer and movement coach to a lot of Hollywood Records artists. She must have been very lucky to be chosen to work in Muppets Tonight starring those famous puppeteers such as Brian Henson, Bill Barretta, and Steve Whitmire. She is yet another one of dancers to ever work with the Muppets. Other dancers that performed with the Muppets like Nancy include Betsy Baytos and Graham Fletcher, to name a couple. I hope that someday O'Meara would meet up with them again and ask if she could be a choreographer for their guest stars in their next project. And maybe she'll influence other dancers/choreographers to appear or work on a Muppet project, whenever that is. You never know. Nancy O'Meara, you're the master of choreography and dancing with many Hollywood stars. I just hope that the people you worked with will guest star with the Muppets if they haven't done it already in the past. Until then, maybe influence other dancers to be like you and choreograph numerous stars. Keep on dancing Nancy. Fancy footwork O'Meara!

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...

Gordon Robertson is a Canadian puppeteer who has performed on and off with the Muppets for many years. His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series. Gordon has also performed with the Muppets on The Jim Henson Hour, The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years, The Muppets Wizard of Oz, and more. Robertson even performed on the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird and it's Canadian co-production Sesame Park. His Creature Shop work has placed him on TNMT II, The Neverending Story, and Cats & Dogs. Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

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...
