It's an exciting choice that the creators use the singers to operate
the puppets, if only because it's another step forward for puppets
being seen as a viable art form for adults in this country.

I make fun of it but it does have its appeal.  Just imagine what is next though.
 Window Washer marionettists, Lawyer ventriloquists, Supreme Court
Justice Bunraku style Puppeteers, The possibilities are endless!

I guess the thing that bugs me is that Micheal Curry even has to say
anything about it.  Why mention it. Its condescending to the artform
he is utilizing.
