I watched the “Woodsman” production in theaters last summer. My first impressions of the show, I thought the “Woodsman” was very appealing visually and emotionally. I enjoyed each character and the story being told. I loved viewing and analyzing each of the puppets’ appearances, roles within the show, and manipulation techniques! I found all the puppets to be believable and utilized very well. The Tin Man was probably the most interesting concept of the show to me. The way the puppet is slowly pieced together throughout the runtime, is really well done. I also loved the music and themes of the story. The choices of making these characters puppets was genius to convey the story and bring a sense of emotion to the show. If the puppets were replaced with human actors, it would not have the same impact. Overall, the “Woodsman” puppets were phenomenal and brought to life seamlessly.
