101 Dalmatians

Puppetry Designer and Director

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre – 2022

“101 Dalmatians is spot on – in every sense, with lifesize dalmatian puppets whose body language (bum-sniffing included) has been meticulously observed.”
The Observer

“Puppet designer and director Toby Olié’s spotty pooches are proper showstoppers.”
Time Out

“It’s no surprise that the puppets are the highlights of the show.”
The Independent

“Full marks to puppetry designer Toby Olié who, with the help of disembodied heads and tails, creates the illusion that a full complement of spotted puppies is flooding the stage in the climactic sequence.”
The Times

“This puppyish, puppet-led musical based on Dodie Smith’s spotty dog story wins you over with sheer dazzle and bonkers invention.”
Evening Standard
