Bio
RICK LYON is Avenue Q’s real triple threat: he designed all of the puppets, he and his company The Lyon Puppets built all of the puppets, and Rick created the roles of Nicky/Trekkie/Blue Bear in the original Tony-winning Broadway production! A puppeteer and designer with more than 25 years of professional experience in television, film, and theatre, Rick is proud to have supplied the puppets for the productions of Avenue Q on Broadway, in London, Las Vegas, and the First American National Tour, as well as Australia, Brazil, and Mexico – well over 200 puppets so far! Rick gratefully acknowledges the inspiration and encouragement of the late Jim Henson. Husband to Tonya Dixon, and first-time father to beautiful daughter Kennedy!
