Fun & furry musicians arrive in Grand Rapids on Nov. 11

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 the stage to share their love of music in Sesame Street Live “Elmo Makes Music” at Van Andel Arena from Friday, Nov. 11 through Sunday, Nov. 13. Tickets for all five performances are on sale now!
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.  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.”
Tickets are $12, $16 and $22. A limited number of $30 Gold Circle seats and $55 Sunny Seats** are also available. Opening Night, all seats (excluding Gold Circle and Sunny Seats) are $12. A facility fee of $2.50 will be added to all ticket prices. Additional fees and discounts may apply.
**Special $55 Sunny Seat packages are available at all shows. Sunny Seats feature front row seats and a pre-show Meet & Greet with two Sesame Street Live friends.
