Marilice Cosenza

Marilice Cosenza is a Brazilian puppeteer, actress, and singer who does the voice and puppetry of Abby Cadabby on the Brazilian co-production of Sesame Street, Sesamo. She also dubs Abby's voice in the animated segments known as Abby's Flying Fairy School. Marilice performed alongside other Brazilian puppeteers like Kelly Guidotti, Thais Carvalho, Paulo Henrique, and Andre Milano. Cosenza also acted on screen in Brazilian series such as Two Faces, Amor e Revolução, and Jailers, to name a few. She has also lent her voice to two shows; Papaya Bull and As Microaventuras de Tito e Muda. It would appear that Sesamo was the only show she puppeteered on, unless you count a Brazilian version of Avenue Q, as I found online. Other than puppetry and acting, Marilice Cosenza is a great singer and has sung for a lot of Brazilian concerts. Her singing can also be heard on Spotify if people were to look up her name and hear a sample of one of her songs. Apart from Sesamo and Avenue Q (Brazil), there doesn't seem to be any other projects in which she puppeteered on. Marilice is probably more recognized for her acting and her singing talents since she did both more. Cosenza should still be proud to make everyone across Brazil very happy with her version of Abby Cadabby on Sesamo and her singing. Who knows, perhaps her singing can be heard in other countries too, including the US. As a matter of fact, people can see her sing if they look up her name on YouTube. Marilice Cosenza, even though you don't puppeteer a lot, I still believe you're great at it. You also should be proud to be a singer too. Keep on acting and singing because a star never stops until they're ready. Excellent performance Marilice. Good luck Cosenza!

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...
