SESAME STREET LIVE COMES TO THE KENTUCKY CENTER

Children and their families are invited to share a cosmic journey with Big Bird, Grover, Elmo and the rest of the Sesame Street Live friends in “Out of This World!” The star-studded adventure will entertain families at The Brown Theatre, Friday, December 16, 7 p.m; Saturday, December 17, 10:30 a.m. & 2 p.m.; and Sunday, December 18, 1 p.m. & 4:30 p.m.

An average “sunny day” becomes extraordinary when Terry, Sesame Street’s fix-it girl, and her Muppet friends teach their intergalactic visitors all about Earth. Grover shares some of his recent global adventures, and children learn that Sesame Street is internationally loved. The live show includes popular segments such as “Elmo’s World” and “Journey to Ernie,” as well as a letter and number of the day. In the process, your favorite Sesame Street Live friends teach children how much we have in common regardless of the languages we speak, the way we look or even the way we dance.

Like television’s Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the razzle-dazzle of a full-blown Broadway-quality production, children learn about patience, cooperation and teamwork. The universal appeal of a Sesame Street Live experience continues long after pre-school. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written scripts and music they’ll recognize from their childhood. “Out of This World” features a variety of songs, many of them renditions of tunes that parents will remember and kids will love, including “The Hokey-Pokey,” “Disco Duck” and “We Are Family.”

Minneapolis-based VEE Corporation is the nation’s preeminent producer of live, touring family entertainment. In 1980, VEE presented the first production of Sesame Street Live, now the longest running children’s tour in history. Today, thanks to 26 years of successful “sunny days,” VEE also produces Dragon Tales Live and Care Bears Live.
