WHEN ELMO GROWS UP

Introducing Abby Cadabby! The newest Muppet on Sesame Street joins Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and all of her furry and feathered friends in asking, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ as they prepare for a pageant on Sesame Street. Get ready to sing cowboy songs, ride the rails and more with Sesame Street Live “When Elmo Grows Up.” When Elmo and his Sesame Street Live friends think about growing up, it’s a musical show-and-tell! as Bert dreams of becoming a forest ranger, Telly longs to be a cowboy and their newest friend, Abby Cadabby, wants to be a Fairy Godmother just like her mommy. Elmo thinks about becoming a ‘weather monster,’ but has a hard time predicting his own forecast—he wants to be anything and everything all at once! “When Elmo Grows Up” includes lessons on perseverance, teamwork and the power of imagination. Children learn that if they believe in themselves and are willing to try, the possibilities are endless. Adults will hear music they’ll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as “Home on the Range,” “Down on the Corner” and “Give a Little Love.” “When Elmo Grows Up ” features nearly two dozen songs, including classics that children will love to sing along with such as “I Love Trash” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider.”

THE CAST Bert, Big Bird, Ernie, Elmo, Oscar, Grover, Cookie Monster, Zoe, Rosita, Count Von Count, Abby Cadabby, Telly, Baby Bear, Prairie Dawn, Roxy Marie, Grundgetta, and Honker.

My son always loved to watch Sesame Street every morning. He would run around playing with cars and other toys, but when it was time for Elmo's World, he would sit on my lap and stay glued to the television. My daughter did the same thing when she started watching it along with her big brother. They loved the Elmo's World theme song, still enjoy it today. I sing that song and sound just like Elmo. They always tell me to "sing the Elmo song". We all get a great laugh out of it. Recently at work, the day was nearly over and it had been a long, rough day. I work in an open office with a lot of cubicles. I started singing the Elmo song really loud. It broke up the tension of the day. One coworker was unaware that it was me singing the song. She thought it might be a toy, so she began looking for an Elmo doll. Every time she walked away I would start singing the song. She finally figured out it was me. Now she will come up and squeeze my hand as you would a toy to make it sing. When she does it, I start singing Elmo's World. It is a quick stress reliever and everyone has a good time with it. At times, I will be concentrating on some important task and she will come and squeeze my hand out of the blue. It catches me off guard, but I am always quick to accomodate her with the song.

I grew up watching Sesame Street. Instead of attending kindergarten, I learned everything I needed to start 1st grade from the Sesame Street gang. It made learning fun - not just words and numbers, but how to interact with others. It's a great show for kids and parents to watch together. No one is ever to old for Sesame Street!

My little girl and her baby brother just watched their first episode of Sesame Street together. They leaned on each other and it was simply adorable.
