Bob Baker Marionettes pictures

On Saturday, February 22, 2003, I took my five year old daughter to see the “Musical World” performance at Bob Baker Marionettes in downtown Los Angeles. This is Bob Baker’s 48 year of operation, and the show was spectacular, with excellent puppeteers who were so good you didn’t even really notice them. The whole thing was made all the better by a ’70s-era soundtrack that had great Jean Jacques Perrey-style Moog synthesizer versions of songs from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Star Trek. The show reminded me a lot of the It’s a Small World Ride at Disneyland. If you are visiting LA, this place is a must! Link Discuss
