Sesame Street Live

Calling all super heroes! Super Grover needs your help – and it’s Elmo and the Fabulous Five to the rescue when this fantastic musical production zooms into Rochester. Join Elmo, Zoe, Abby Cadabby, Telly Monster and Zoe’s pet rock Rocco for Sesame Street Live “Elmo’s Healthy Heroes” at Mayo Civic Center on Saturday, Aug. 28 and Sunday, Aug. 29.

When Super Grover loses his superness, Sesame Street needs a hero! Never fear, Elmo and his team of Healthy Heroes are here. Teaching lessons of healthy habits through song and dance, Elmo, Abby Cadabby and your favorite Sesame Street friends will explore exercise, nutrition, sleep/energy and hygiene – all in a quest to put the “super” back in Super Grover. It’s Elmo’s Healthy Heroes to the rescue!

Sesame Street Live “Elmo’s Healthy Heroes” features an array of popular (and healthy!) songs, many of them renditions of tunes that parents will remember and kids will love: “Old MacDonald,” “Splish Splash,” “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and “Sunny Days.” Like television’s Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the dazzle of this full-blown Broadway-quality show, the production will teach children lessons in healthy habits that they can use long after the show ends. Adults will appreciate the universal appeal of Sesame Street Live, the high-tech stagecraft and cleverly written scripts.

Saturday, Aug. 28, 10:30 a.m., 2 p.m. & 5:30; Sunday, Aug. 29, 1 p.m. & 4:30 p.m. Mayo Civic Center, 30 Civic Center Drive South East. Tickets are $16, $21 & $26. A limited number of $31 Gold Circle seats and $51 Sunny Seats* are also available. A Mayo Civic Center facility fee of $1.00 has been added to all ticket prices.
