Sesame Street the Musical

Grab the kids and prepare to sweep the clouds away at this live Sesame Street musical by puppet mastermind Jonathan Rockefeller, who wrote and directed the show as well as designed the plush protagonists. Rockefeller is a whiz at translating kiddie classics into sumptuous stage fare, and the show features original songs by Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), Helen Park (KPOP) and Nate Edmondson (Rockefeller's Winnie the Pooh), so we expect them to do right by Elmo, Abby, Grover, Ernie and Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster and the rest of the street-smart crew.
