The Little Mermaid on Broadway

Well, another Puppet Heap creation hits the planks on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontaine Theater for Disney’s stage production of “The Little Mermaid” opening November 4th. It’s a brief appearance, but we think audiences will get a kick out of it. We had to make a little puppet version of the Sebastian character which pops out of a covered dish during a chase scene with the chef. It’s one of those ideas that’s borderline creepy, so it was a real challenge to keep it light. In the end, the project is another great example of a talented team coming together to make something great.

Ye Ballade of Ivan Petrofsky Skevar

The Heap commences production of “Ye Ballade of Ivan Petrofsky Skevar,” a shadow puppet show based on the popular song of the same title.

Mary Poppins

Working with producer Thomas Schumaker, the Heap has been commissioned to provide the character of Willoughby the Dog to Disney’s Broadway production of Mary Poppins which opens this month. Arf!

The Upside Down Show

Noggin launches its new children’s show featuring the peculiar stylings of the famed Australian performance duo “The Umbilical Brothers.” The show features puppets by Puppet Heap.

Omar’s Mother

The Heap has commenced production of its short film “Omar’s Mother,” the story of a boy, his Mother and the worm who brings them closer together.

Muppets

Puppet Heap is pleased to report that we have officially sealed the deal to take on the task of servicing the Muppets and “Bear in the Big Blue House” for Muppets Studio, the division of the Walt Disney Company that now produces the Muppets. Not only is this a great honor to play small part in the history of these treasured characters, but for some of us it represents an opportunity to return to work we had thought long since left behind.
