My journey in kids’ media began as a puppeteer in television and theatre, leading me to Sesame Street, the Hundred Acre Wood and beyond. I’ve worked with many beloved characters along the way, including The Muppets, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Spongebob Squarepants, Paddington Bear, and a brief (but grrreat!) stint with Tony the Tiger.
“Jake Bazel as Pooh himself is superb. He perfectly captures the voice of the silly old bear whilst fantastically manipulating the puppet.”
“Key to the show's charm is the performance of longstanding star Jake Bazel, who created the role in New York and gives a note-perfect delivery of Pooh's melodic drawl.”
