I<\/span>t’s no secret that we’re long-time fans of Sesame Street – when I searched <\/a>the term on the blog, I got four pages of posts mentioning it. So when the fine peeps at Scotiabank Place asked if I’d be interested in promoting the new stage production, “Sesame Street Live: Elmo’s Green Thumb,” I was delighted to say yes. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the press release:<\/p>\n

Sunny isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just the weather forecast on Sesame Street – it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also the name of Elmo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sunflower friend! Join all your favorite friends on an amazing musical adventure as they help Elmo find a new home for Sunny when Sesame Street Live \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Elmo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Green Thumb\u00e2\u20ac\u009d performs at Scotiabank Place on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011 at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 23 at 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Elmo has raised his sunflower, Sunny, from a seed, but his floral friend has outgrown the flower pot. Elmo and friends find Big Bird\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s garden the ideal place for Sunny to flourish and grow but they are too excited to wait. Rather than let Sunny follow nature\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s course, Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make Sunny grow. The spell does just the opposite and, instead of growing, Elmo and all of his friends shrink. While Abby searches for just the right words to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe, Telly and friends explore Big Bird\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s garden from a smaller perspective and learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in our ecosystem \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor. Will being small help Sunny grow tall? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a fresh, original Sesame Street Live on a whole new scale.<\/p>\n

Like television\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. The universal appeal of each Broadway-quality musical production continues long after preschool. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written script, and music they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ladybug Picnic,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Inch by Inch\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Love Trash.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is it sad that I’m ridiculously excited to see two of my favourite Sesame Street songs (Ladybug Picnic and I Love Trash) on the playbill? Could we dare hope to hear What’s the Name of That Song?<\/p>\n
