Red, yellow and blue…the primary colors are also the colors of Elmo, Big Bird and Cookie Monster!  Mix them together, and you’ll discover a rainbow of Sesame Street Live friends.  Children and their families in Louisville are invited on a colorful journey with Elmo, Zoe, Oscar, Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Street Live friends in VEE Corporation’s “Elmo’s Coloring Book.”  Color it fun at the Brown Theatre from Fri., Jan. 12 to Sun., Jan. 14. Tickets for all five performances are on sale now.  The 2006-07 Sesame Street Live tour season is sponsored by Beaches Resorts, the Caribbean’s #1 ultra all-inclusive luxury resorts for families featuring exclusive year-round furry fun with your friends from Sesame Street.

Feeling blue?  How about mellow yellow or red-hot?  Colors evoke many emotions, but what would happen if they all disappeared?  Elmo and friends join Professor Art and his helpers, the Palettes, as they travel into their drawings to ancient Egypt, the land of the dinosaurs, and a very musical junkyard.  The colors begin to vanish as the characters perform an array of musical numbers, including, “Fuzzy and Blue,” “Red-Hot Tango,” and “Yellow Polka.”  Along the way, they learn the importance of sharing, diversity and acceptance of others - even those with no color at all.

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 and cleverly written scripts.  “Elmo’s Coloring Book” features a wonderful selection of songs, many of them renditions of tunes that parents will remember and kids will love: “Sing,” “I Love Trash,” “True Colors” and “Sunny Days.”
