Who Will Be the Next ‘Sesame’ Idol!?
Sesame Street Live Holds Auditions Friday!


Sesame Street Live brings ‘sunny days’ next week with “Elmo’s Super Heroes” at Fox Theatre and we’re holding auditions! We have some big, furry shoes to fill and we hope to find some talented local performers to do just that — and travel the country, and perhaps the globe, with our amazing live family touring shows. VEE Corporation has delighted millions of children around the world with live touring stage shows since Sesame Street Live’s debut performance in 1980.

What does it take to be a ‘Sesame’ Idol? Please contact Kelly Suter
(612-852-2383 /
ksuter@vee.com) to schedule an advance interview with the tour’s Performance Director to find out more. You’re also welcome to attend the auditions and interview local performers about what motivates them to be the next Elmo, Big Bird or other colorful character.

Tours run an average of 10 months. For consideration, please bring a picture and resume and wear or bring dance attire.Performers must be 18 or older. All available positions are paid and non-union.

FULL-BODY COSTUME CHARACTERS: we require versatile dancers, with strong technical ability in jazz and musical theatre dance styles, in the height range of 4’11” to 6’1”. Gymnastics and tap are pluses. Dance combinations will be taught.

LIVE-MIC PERFORMERS must be able to dance well, sing, and act. A dance combination will be taught. Prepare two vocal selections, 16 bars each: ballad and up-tempo (a cappella or instrumental CD). Prepare an upbeat, one-minute monologue. TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A LIVE ROLE, ALL PERFORMERS MUST COMPLETE THE DANCE PORTION OF THE AUDITION.
