Sesame Street Live Comes to NC

Mark your calendar for a musical event like no other—monsters making music!  Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all their Sesame Street friends are taking to the stage to share their love of music in Sesame Street Live “Elmo Makes Music”.

The show is about Jenny, an enthusiastic new music teacher, who arrives on Sesame Street only to discover that her instruments are missing.  Jenny’s new Muppet friends quickly come to the rescue and discover ‘instruments’ they never knew existed…rubber duckies, trash can lids and even cookie jars.  Elmo, Abby Cadabby and friends teach children that everyone can make and enjoy beautiful music together.

Like television’s Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages.  Through the razzle-dazzle of this Broadway-quality musical production, children learn about patience, acceptance and teamwork.  The universal appeal of a Sesame Street Live production continues long after preschool.  Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written scripts, and music they’ll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as “The Hustle,” “You Should Be Dancing” and “Rockin’ Robin.”  “Elmo Makes Music” features nearly two dozen songs, including classics that children will love to sing along with such as “C Is for Cookie” and “The Alphabet Song.”

This event will be in NC at the PNC Center in Raleigh May 31- June 2 and at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro June 7-9. Tickets range in price from $12 -$60 and can be purchased at http://sesamestreetlive.com/tickets-0?tid[]=58

Thoughts on the show: I just saw the show yesterday with my 4 year old daughter and thought it was fantastic. She was engaged the entire hour show either signing along, clapping or jumping around in her seat to the music. I enjoyed the show as well finding myself singing along to some classic songs from the show. I'd say this show is well worth the money if you have a child that loves Sesame Street.
