Susi Claus

Susi Claus is a German puppeteer and voice actress who is known for her work on the Sesamstrasse series and spin-offs as well. For the spin-offs Pizza Mit Biss and Eine Mohre fur Zwei she performed numerous minor characters for many seasons. Since 2020, Susi has performed Abby Cadabby in new material on the show itself as well as dubbing her voice in the German dub of Mecha Builders. Claus should be proud to do so well on Sesamstrasse for many years whether it's on the series itself or on its spin-offs. She got to work with many German puppeteers on Sesamstrasse such as Martin Paas, Andrea Bongers, Iris Schleuss, and Carsten Morar-Haffke, to name a few. Outside, she performs a duck named Schnatterinchen on Unser Sandmannchen and also does a cat named MiWau on Moppi und MiWau. In addition to performing on children shows, Susi Claus also worked on a German competitive talent show called Puppenstars where she coached contestants and played a puppet named Betsy. I read she has also directed her own puppet productions for the stage. She seems to be one of those lucky puppeteers for she got to be like a coach for a competitive talent show involving puppetry. Let's hope Susi continues to perform Abby Cadabby on future seasons of Sesamstrasse as well as other minor characters for the two spin-offs. I'll bet Claus would be perfect for coaching newcomer puppeteers joining the Sesamstrasse series, you never know. Perhaps Martin Reinl (one of the judges on Puppenstars) will recommend her to offer some of her coaching to those in Germany that want to puppeteer. It's just a thought though, it'll probably never happen in life, or at least for a long while. Susi Claus, you're doing wonderful on the Sesamstrasse franchise and you've done great on kid and reality productions. Keep on doing puppetry and voice acting because that's what you're best at. Until then, have total confidence within yourself and never forget about your career. You really "quack" us up Susi. Keep on being an expert Claus!

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...
