In preparation for the opening of the winter games, Elmo from Sesame Street Live will visit one of the top figure skating facilities in the world, the international Detroit Skating Club (DSC) on Thursday, February 11th at 4:45pm. Home of National Champions Jeremy Abbott, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who will all represent team U.S.A. during the 2010 Olympic Games, Elmo will join DSC's Olympic coaches and youngsters of the Learn to Skate program in hopes of finding the next Detroit Olympian.

Elmo will visit the Detroit Skating Club at 888 Denison Court, Bloomfield Hills, MI on Thursday, February 11 at 4:45 p.m. Sesame Street Live "Elmo's Green Thumb" is currently at Fox Theatre, playing now through Feb. 15.

In Sesame Street Live "Elmo's Green Thumb" Elmo has raised his sunflower, Sunny, from a seed, but his floral friend has outgrown the flower pot. Elmo and friends find Big Bird's garden the ideal place for Sunny to flourish and grow but they are too excited to wait. Rather than let Sunny follow nature's course, Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street's fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make Sunny grow. The spell does just the opposite and, instead of growing, Elmo and all of his friends shrink! While Abby searches for just the right words to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe, Telly and friends explore Big Bird's garden from a smaller perspective and learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in our ecosystem - from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor. Will being small help Sunny grow tall? It's a fresh, original Sesame Street Live on a whole new scale!

Sesame Street Live "Elmo's Green Thumb" will be performed on Thursday, February 11th at 7pm, Friday, February 12th at 11am and 7pm, Saturday, February 13th and Sunday, February 14th at 10:30am, 2pm, and 5:30pm, and Monday, February 15th at 10:30am and 2pm. On February 11th at 7pm a Family Night Discount is available for all seats (excluding Premium).
