Andrew A. Cano

Andrew A. Cano is a Mexican-American puppeteer who joined Sesame Street in 2021, inheriting the role of Ricardo (Rosita's dad) from Tyler Bunch. He made his debut performance in an online Sesame Street music video "Fathers", a spoof of the title song from the Friends series. Andrew also performs one of the newest Muppet characters, Lalo who debuted in the 54th season (previously made a cameo the previous season). Cano also served as a performer for Henson Company show Slumberkins and on Puppet Up. He even puppeteered in live musicals featuring puppetry outside of Sesame Street, such as Winnie the Pooh, Dream Carver, Unsettling, and Avenue Q, to name a few. He got to work with several Sesame Street performers such as Christopher Hayes, Stacey Gordon, Bradley Freeman Jr., and Ryan Dillon. Apparently in Season 54, Andrew A. Cano has had a bigger role since training. Personally, I think it was a great idea to recast a character to a performer of the same nationality, in other words, a Mexican Muppet to a Mexican performer. He'll probably continue to perform Ricardo and Lalo for the near future since he's only just beginning his Sesame Street career. Starting his career at the Disneyland Resort really turned Andrew into the star he is today. I'll bet Cano felt really excited when he joined the performers of Sesame Street. Other new performers such as Yinan Shentu and Leila Ghaznavi must've felt the same way he did when they joined. He has done a great job and still is today. Andrew A. Cano, you're doing good so far on Sesame Street and you also did well on Puppet Up and Slumberkins for the Henson Company. Keep up the great work as Ricardo and Lalo since you've done so well in production of the 54th season of the show. You're a real star now. Muy bien Andrew. Happy performing Cano!

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...
