Little Miss Muffet Frank Oz
PERFORMER various
DEBUT 1971
PATTERN Large Lavender Live Hand

Little Miss Muffet is the titular character in the Little Miss Muffet nursery rhyme who has made several notable appearances on Sesame Street.

She appeared in a Season 3 sketch, preparing for a theatrical performance of the poem, and becomes increasingly frustrated by her Fat Blue co-star's costume problems. She's also taken aback when director Lance addresses her as "lady." She was performed here by Frank Oz and made out of the Large Lavender Live Hand Anything Muppet.

In later appearances, Miss Muffet has often appeared as a Lavender Anything Muppet, and has gone through many performers over the years.
