About
Bob Baker Marionette Theater – Choo Choo Revue is an hour-long marionette show where the theater seat becomes a train bound for fantasy. Through the train window of the Bob Baker Marionette Theater stage, the show features travel across rolling hills, mountainous peaks, and dazzling deserts. The performance includes dancing luggage, singing mushrooms, and a cicada jugband, using brand new puppets presented with theatric grandeur and artistic skill, and is noted as the first new show from Bob Baker Marionette Theater in 40 years.
