Melchior Marionettes

The Melchior Marionettes...the show for all ages!

Founded in the early 1950's the Melchior Marionettes, now in their third generation, have evolved into one of America's finest and most artfully produced marionette shows.

Not only have the Melchior marionettes performed with many headliners, but have toured in Europe, South America and Canada as well.

This fast-moving comedy musical variety show knows no age or language barrier.

Customer Feedback:

""a show that closes the gap between children's and adult entertainment"."

Head of the Masonic orgination

""the first marionette show that totally captivated our students"."

A School Principal

"A harsh falls over the audience when Peggy Melchior appears. She stands as a shadow on the stage. Before in the brilliant spotlight her marionettes, one after the other, swiftly and expertly guided by 10 fingers perform with terrific skill. A brilliant performance with marionettes."

Neue Rahein Zeitung Duesseldorf

"The Melchior Marionettes proved themselves to be a first class act; here a pretty lady performs a beautiful show. What once sees is an ice skater, a penguin, a trumpet blowing rabbit, a fantasy bird, a cancan dancer, a monkey on the trapeze and an opera singer. The Melchior Marionettes are performing on the Hansa - Theater Stage for the first time and we are sure that after this successful debut we will see them again."
