For parents of young children about 5 to 7 years old, a fun and educational show is coming to the PlayhouseSquare in Cleveland. Watch the famous furry red monster Elmo and all his Sesame Street friends including loveable yellow Big Bird and newer character Abby Cadabby in a special production of Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music. The story is about Jenny, an enthusiastic new music teacher who comes to Sesame Street only to discover to her dismay that her musical instruments are missing. Jenny quickly makes friends with the Muppets, who come to her rescue and help her discover “instruments” they never knew existed, including rubber duckies, trash can lids and cookie jars. Together, Elmo and friends teach children that anyone can enjoy and make music, even using commonplace household objects to make a joyful sound.
Children of all ages will surely enjoy this special treat as they recognize the beloved Muppet characters. Accompanying adults will also enjoy hearing familiar songs such as “The Hustle,” “You Should be Dancing” and “Rockin’ Robin.” The show features almost two dozen songs, including instantly recognizable sing along classics such as “C is for Cookie” and “The Alphabet Song.”
