I was recently invited to the opening night of Sesame Street Live: When Elmo Grows up at Madison Square Garden. And by “opening night,” I mean, 11 am. This is for the toddler set after all. I was quite relieved to find out that Elmo hadn’t turned into a 46 year-old adult overnight. He’s still the same Elmo, just trying to figure out what to be when he grows up.
The show is super cute and my daughters (age 5 & 3) were completely enthralled and entertained. These Sesame Street characters are rock stars. Yes, as cool as Taylor Swift who is pretty cool in my house. We even had the chance to meet Elmo and Cookie Monster before the show. And we all got a picture with them….
Ok I realize it’s hard to see Dylan and Summer in the photo (mostly because they are hovering in the back of the room). It can be scary to meet these rock stars in person.
The show runs until Feb 15th at Madison Square Garden. I have a 50% off discount code for certain shows. Just email me at kelcey@mamabirddiaries.com and I’ll send it to you.
Before I had kids of my own, I took a little friend to see Sesame Street Live. He sat with wide-open eyes the entire time. It was fun to watch him watch the show.
That being said, I loathe Elmo.
I love that picture. Although there’s something really fake about Elmo’s and Cookie Monster’s expressions.
k. pretty jealous you snagged a photo with those two.
Hmmm. Where exactly is Elmo’s right hand?
We just went to the show – wish I knew about the 50% off! It was super cute and both my girls were entertained from start to finish!
AH! I love elmo…so cool!
Sounds cute. Maybe even better than Princesses on Ice? I’m going to look into tickets. How do I get the discount? thanks!
