Wharton Center for the Performing Arts Presents SESAME STREET LIVE: ELMO MAKES MUSIC Today

By:

Mark your calendar for a musical event like no other-monsters making music! Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all their Sesame Street friends are taking to Wharton Center's Cobb Great Hall to share their love of music in Sesame Street Live Elmo Makes Music today, May 14 at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Tickets for both performances go on sale Feb. 14 and tickets for the tour are available now and can be purchased online at whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON. Tickets are $18-$48. A special ticket price of $9 is available for school/daycare groups of 10 or more people for the *Kids' Matinee (Excluding Gold Circle and Sunny Seats).

Jenny, an enthusiastic new music teacher, arrives on Sesame Street only to discover that her instruments are missing. Jenny's new Muppet friends quickly come to the rescue and discover 'instruments' they never knew existed...rubber duckies, trash can lids and even cookie jars. Elmo, Abby Cadabby and friends teach children that everyone can make and enjoy beautiful music together.

Like television's Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the razzle-dazzle of this Broadway-quality musical production, children learn about patience, acceptance and teamwork. The universal appeal of a Sesame Street Live production continues long after preschool. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written scripts, and music they'll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as "The Hustle," "You Should Be Dancing" and "Rockin' Robin." "Elmo Makes Music" features nearly two dozen songs, including classics that children will love to sing along with such as "C Is for Cookie" and "The Alphabet Song."
