Oscar the Grouch stage puppets

Stage puppet version of Oscar the Grouch as he appeared in Sesame Street Live and at Sesame Place.

Before he made the transition to walk-around character in 2012, Oscar appeared as a puppet operated from inside a large prop trash can. Because he did not have a proper body, Oscar's appearances were mostly limited to Sesame Street Live and Sesame Place, although he has turned up at SeaWorld San Diego (pre-2012) and Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
