Monsters Becoming Musicians
Audience Participation Required
You probably remember classic Sesame Street songs like C is for Cookie and Somebody Come and Play from your youth. Now, your child's favorite furry, red friend is coming to town singing new songs for you to share together. That's right Elmo and his friends like The Count, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Bert & Ernie are taking center stage for three shows at the Flynn Theater on January 27th & 28th.
When Jenny, the new Sesame Street music teacher, moves into town, her instruments get lost. Jenny’s new Sesame Street friends quickly come to her rescue, and they all discover "instruments" that they never knew existed…rubber duckies, trash can lids and even their own laps! The characters teach children, and themselves, that everyone has the ability to make beautiful music, whether they realize it or not. Don’t miss this opportunity to count along with The Count, visit Elmo’s World and do the Crumb-A-Rumba with Rosita and Cookie Monster at Sesame Street Live "Elmo Makes Music."
