About Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Green Thumb
Sesame Street Live is the live touring show based on the children's television show Sesame Street.
Produced by Minneapolis-based VEE Corporation, the show opened on September 17, 1980, with a production of Sesame Street Live "Missing Bird Mystery" playing at the Met Center in Bloomington, Minnesota. Sesame Street Live is now produced as three or four separate tours, each performing a different show, with its own plot, characters, scenery, and soundtrack. Shows are performed in arenas and theatres around the world, generally working on an eight to ten month touring schedule ending in the spring and resuming in the late summer. While in the United States, Sesame Street Live is a bus and truck show, with the equipment moving by two or three trucks and the personnel travelling by bus.
The shows feature original music scores and songs, complemented with old favorites from the show, and professional dancers as costumed characters performing the parts of the Muppets. The productions are done in a theatrical style.
The show has been staged in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, the Netherlands, Germany, Bahrain, Mexico, England, Scotland, Wales, Singapore, Australia, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines. |
