About Sesame Street Live

The touring show Sesame Street Live opened for the first time on September 17, 1980 and was based on the popular children’s TV show Sesame Street. First performance was at Metropolitan Sports Centre, Bloomington, Minnesota and was named as The Sesame Street Mystery: A case of missing Rara Avis. It was a huge success and continued for about four weeks at Christmas that year at Madison Square Garden. The show has been running successfully ever since.

Sesame Street Live show is a production of the VEE Corporation, a company owned by Vincent E. Egan, who conceived the idea of staging live performances by the Sesame Street show characters, and started the venture in collaboration with the Children’s Television Workshop and Jim Hansen, the Muppet creator. Ever since, the show has grown a great deal, and has three or four different tours at the same time. Tours take place around the world in many different countries and venues. The tours begin in late summers and end in spring each year, completing about a ten month schedule. Each tour travels a distance of about 20,000 miles in one season, and has its individual plot and story, its own soundtracks, characters and sceneries. Being a Bus and Truck show, the tours generally travel across the country in trucks carrying the equipment and a bus with the personnel, typically comprising of about 28 people, including 17 performers, eight crew members, and three managers and directors.

The show features many original Sesame Street characters, with soundtracks and music from the show, and provides an opportunity to the audience to enjoy themselves with their all time favorite characters, along with new music and dances. The performers use costumes from the popular segments of Sesame Street show and amuse the audience. A theatrical style is adapted for the show and performances are done on a stage. The whole atmosphere resembles that of a theatre show. There are dances, songs and performances that involve a variety of characters from the show. Every year the show features new plots and stories to retain interest of the audience. Being a show directed mainly for the children, the audience is replaced with the passage of time as the children grow up, and the tour makes the old but popular performances come again with some modifications after some years. This makes the characters and stories alive, and popular among generations.

Characters performing in the show include the Muppets created by Jim Hansen, one of the greatest puppeteers history has ever seen.  Hansen himself has been actively involved in the Sesame Street Show productions, designing and playing characters for the show, including Bert and Ernie, Elmo, Cookie Monster and the well known Big Bird. These characters are acknowledged alike by children as well as adults around the world.

The show has been performing throughout the world, and the venues include the United States, Canada, England, Germany, Scotland, Singapore, Australia, UAE, Hong Kong, Japan, Philippines and Mexico. There have also been some mini shows in Singapore in the year 1997 and 1999. The Sesame Street Live show has now become the longest running stage tour for children in the world. The tours have numbered over a hundred in total after 2009, and January 13, 2010 was celebrated as the Sesame Street Live day as proclaimed by the Mayor of Minneapolis on the day of 30^th anniversary of VEE corporation. A street was also temporarily named after the show to celebrate the anniversary in New York on February 4, 2010.

The show has also been involved in environment friendly activities like planting seeds for eco-awareness, and promoting personal hygiene. Performances are targeted towards children of all ages, especially the young learning minds to help them learn in a playful manner. Shows like 1, 2, 3... imagine! and Elmo’s coloring book brings a great deal of learning for children.
