Sesame Street Live

Thursday - Sunday, February 17-20

Sesame Street Live Brings Sunny Days to the Erwin Center!

Elmo and his friends will be discovering the importance of colors and even lack of colors in the production “Elmo’s Coloring Book.” Elmo will be contemplating how colors evoke emotions and about what would happen if all the colors disappeared. Elmo, Big Bird, Oscar, Zoe and the rest of his Sesame Street Live friends will join Professor Art and his helpers, the Palettes, and travel to such far-off lands as ancient Egypt, the land of the dinosaurs, and even a musical junkyard!

Each character is a unique individual with their own personality. If you would like to learn more about the character behind the creature, here is a brief biography of the Sesame Street Live cast!

Elmo – Elmo gets first billing since he IS the star of the show. He’s about three and a half years old and always finds a way to make the most of whatever situation he’s in. He is a perennial optimist and the heart of Sesame Street innocence and enthusiasm.

Bert – Bert is analytical, responsible, and the complete and utter opposite of his eccentric roommate and forever best friend, Ernie. When he’s not playing checkers with his pigeon Bernice, Bert, a true model of dignity and decorum, spends his days collecting bottle caps and paper clips.

Ernie – Ernie is a free spirited trickster with an imagination to match. He delights in teasing his best friend Bert, but no matter what sort of shenanigans Ernie subjects him to, it’s obvious that he values Bert’s friendship immensely, and wouldn’t know what to do without his dearest old buddy and best pal.

Big Bird – Big Bird is the ‘every child’ of Sesame Street. Fine feathered friend to all, he may get overly excited about new discoveries and extremely disappointed when things don’t work out, but this bird is always willing to try again, correct his mistakes and find a solution to his problems. Big Bird is a viewer’s six-year-old guide to Sesame Street.

Oscar – More than a monster, Oscar is an absolutely certifiable grouch. Being happy makes him angry, which in turn makes him happy, which makes him angry, then happy, then angry…well, you get the idea. Seemingly rotten to the core, like a lot of grouches – much to his disappointment – Oscar actually has a heart of gold.

Grover – Grover always tried to be helpful, but due to his limited cognitive abilities, he often makes a big mess of things. This never seems to trouble Grover, as he always manages to see a positive outcome to every situation. Grover never uses contractions in his speech and he often refers to himself as “your cute and furry pal, Grover!”

Cookie Monster – Emotionally, physically and spiritually attached to cookies, at first glance the world’s most famous monster appears to have a one-track mind. But in actuality, Cookie Monster is a deeply complicated individual. A monster of economy, he can convey worlds of meaning with a simple gesture.

Count Von Count – From numbers to letters to shapes to colors to people to things, with a crack of thunder and a flash of lightning, you can always count on Count Von Count to see to it that everything adds up just right. This passionately obsessive Transylvanian can always find something to count. And that, you can count on.

Zoe – Elmo’s younger, jewelry loving best friend, Zoe, is always so excited about everything that she can hardly get her words out fast enough. She is filled with boundless energy and a childlike curiosity, from the top of her brightly colored barrettes to the soles of her fuzzy feet.

Rosita – Rosita is a good natured, exuberant, turquoise-colored monster. She speaks both English and Spanish, making her the only bi-lingual Muppet on Sesame Street. Rosita’s full name is Rosita La Monstrua de las Cuevas (The Monster of the Caves). Rosita is an extremely loving character who often hugs her friends.
