Here are some Reviews of the Scott Land Marionettes.

Scott was a absolutely amazing showman. He arrived early, set up a cool looking curtain/theater and performed the best marionette show I have ever seen. I have seen puppets on television but nothing like this. He is the "Puppeteer to the Stars." My daughter loved the ice skating penguin and everyone could not stop raving about the show. I endorse this great performer-

I wanted to take a moment to tell everyone just how much we've always enjoyed Scott Land and his wonderful puppet shows which we've hired for many years going way back to when Camp Snoopy first opened at Knott's Berry Farm. We always get such GREAT responses from clients after they've seen his work. Congratulations! It was great to see Scott headlining the Palace of Prestidigation at the World Famous Magic Castle! WOW! WONDERFUL!!

Scott Land's creativity is matched only by his sensitivity - to both his craft and his audience. In this hi tech world, Scott's hi touch performances return everyone to a gentler, more hands-on time. Whether it's a sophisticated adult-themed show or a dancing chicken at a children's party, he is sure to provide his clients with just the right mix of talent, originality and joy.

Scott Land and his marionettes knocked everybody out! Each character almost seems life-like. His Michael Jackson was spot on, everyone howled at his exotic dancer (especially my agent, who got a "lap dance") and his vaudeville tapping skeletons from Mars brought the house down. He even created a puppet based on my wonderful Father, Carl Ballantine, and does a darn good re-creation of is classic bumbling magic act! Aside from the act itself, everybody enjoyed meeting and chatting with Scott afterwards!

Scott Land's Marionette Show is a favorite here at The Original Farmers Market at Third and Fairfax. His lively marionettes bring to life all kinds of wonderful characters and stories. Scott also has the rare ability to produce a show that is equally entertaining for both kids and adults. It is a pleasure to see our audience members, young and old alike, leave his performances with big smiles on their faces and a great appreciation for his puppet mastery. Scott is at the top of our list for family friendly performers!

Scott produced and presented a magnificent puppet in the likeness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and presented it to him at an event I sponsored. His Holiness was both surprised and delighted and the interaction between he and Scott was wonderful. Over the years I have experienced Scott delighting youngsters dealing with serious illness and can attest to his extraordinary ability to make us all both thoughtful and happy.

We LOVE Scott Land! He's wonderfully age-appropriate for kids as young as 1 and old as 15 at the same show, plus the parents love it too. He even gave a backstage tour to kids who had to leave the party early. Keeps them interested the whole time, literally in-your-face interaction, no one is bored with this way more than your typical party hired talent and I've seen it all (bubbles, clown, pirate, reptiles, etc). This is real quality entertainment, with a capital E!!!

Scott Land is one of the most talented puppeteers I have ever known. We met and worked on Team America, the Parker/ Stone film, and have been friends ever since. Scott is a wonderful builder and designer of puppets and has a great sense of character development. Once you have seen him perform his delightful marionettes with ease and grace of a seasoned professional you know you have seen one of the best. His knowledge of the history of puppeteers has helped me remember great artists from the past that we have had many fun discussions about. When you meet Scott it's like you've known him all your life. He's personable, warm, funny, and a true honest friend.
Fred Spencer/puppeteer, actor

I've worked with Scott a couple of times. Once at the Ivar theatre in Hollywood where he stopped the show with his Michael Jackson marionette. The crowd went wild. Simply amazing! The other was on the film Team America: World Police where Scott did much of the lead puppetry. A true pro and a great guy!
Michael Earl/puppeteer/actor/designer

We've been hiring Scott for many years for our corporate children's holiday parties and we have only been impresed by the quality of his work, his talent, professionalism, and superb show he put on year after year for us.
The expressions and smiles on the kids' faces was proof of the enjoyment they were having, besides the fact that every year they asked if the "puppetman" was returning.
Each marionette is a crafted masterpiece by an artistic showman. You piece those together, and you have an amazing show. I HIGHLY recommend Scott! You will not be disappointed!!!

I hired Scott to dazzle my entertainment industry friends at my 50th birthday party. I asked that the show speak to an "adult" audience. Thank goodneess I had the sense to have the audience videotaped. Now I can look back and enjoy the aboslutely raucously good time we had with Scott and his mesmerizing puppets. I think I need to book him again.

Feedback

  • I needed a GREAT ENTERTAINER and that's what I received with Scott Land. He was engaging and totally entertained the children as well as the adults. That's what I needed because my parties are very much a family event... not just for kids. Everyone loved the Scott Land Marionettes! I have given his name to all my guests and know the secret to his success, he's a PROFESSIONAL. His act is UNIQUE. And He showed up with a Clean, Sparkling Stage, hand-made marionettes, his own music and a very funny show. W0W! There is no question I would hire him again. -- Lisa M, Los Angeles International Ai, CA, 1/7/2012
  • I guess WOW could be used in describing Scott Land's performance. He not only had the audience intrigued and laughing, but had the catering staff flocking in from the kitchen to enjoy his performance. Scott was thoughtful about his presentation to his target audience, and yet appealed to everyone in attendance! If you have not been lucky enough to see his wonderful entertainment -- you are missing out! I would highly recommend Scott for your special occasion. -- Connie G, Camarillo, CA, 2/11/2012
