Murray Raine Puppets Australia
Based in Melbourne
About this act
Marionettes, done as cabaret rather than as a kids' show, though there's a family version too. Murray Raine has twice won Australian Specialty Act of the Year and his troupe of puppets has worked arts festivals, corporate events and cabaret theatres here and overseas, including headline runs on Royal Caribbean, Star Cruises, P&O and Princess. The family show is Small Wonders. The adult cabaret shows are Follies Fantastique and It's Vegas On A String, and the puppets in them are dressed better than most of the audience. He performs solo but travels with a stage manager. Shows are built for indoors and need proper staging, sound and lighting from the venue. Melbourne based, touring nationally and internationally.
