Wayne Martin Puppets "Martin's Magical Musical Revue"

Wayne Martin was a background puppeteer on The Muppets Take Manhattan. Martin talks about auditioning for the film in an interview:

The audition took place with Richard Hunt (he works the Muppet character 'Scooter') and a room full of puppets. After looking over Martin's resume, Hunt asked him to choose a puppet and put it on. Then Hunt proceeded to interview the puppet, not Martin. After a minute he turned to the Cincinnati performer and said, 'You've got it. Thank God you're a real live puppeteer, not an actor!' [1]

Puppeteer Wayne Martin has created award winning television and film productions, worked with Sid and Marty Krofft and Jim Henson’s Muppets and had his talents profiled by the international news media.

His touring shows feature “large-scale” trick marionettes in vignettes of comedy and pathos that combines sensory overloads of color, music, and roller-coaster pacing, with no age or language barriers.

Martin has toured Canada, Mexico, Europe and Australia and hundreds of times annually performs across the United States with his act that has appeared with such established artists as Bob Hope, Dolly Parton, The 5th Dimension and The Temptations.

Theatres, symphonies, conventions, malls, schools…

You name it…and then ask for The Wayne Martin Puppets.
