The 40-minute set was a departure from Bob Baker\u2019s typical, more intimate shows. According to Winona Bechtle, the theater\u2019s director of partnerships, it featured more puppets on a single stage than they\u2019ve ever had before. Pink poodles with long black eyelashes danced in a can-can line, a quartet of googly-eyed cacti bobbed along to the music and a trio of small white dogs galloped on the stage.<\/p>\n
But what stole the show was a performance of Ben Platt\u2019s cover of Addison Rae\u2019s hit song \u201cDiet Pepsi.\u201d<\/a> A Hansel-like puppet dressed in a frock made of leaves danced along to the song while fairy-like puppets made of brightly colored flowers swayed in circles around him. The Bob Baker Marionettes knew their audience very well \u2014 the crowd shrieked along to the chorus. After all, does it get any more L.A. niche than a Bob Baker x Ben Platt<\/a> x Addison Rae<\/a> Coachella crossover?<\/p>\nThe Bob Baker Marionettes will be back on stage at Coachella on Friday, April 17, from 2:55 to 3:35 p.m. in the Gobi Tent. You can catch the recorded performance on Coachella\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a> at 4 p.m. Friday. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
