Review: Sesame Street Live! wows The Theater at Madison Square Garden (Includes first-hand account)

The show was heart-warming and interactive from start to finish. It helped bring the puppet characters to life such as Grover, Oscar the Grouch, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Abby and Rosita. They engaged the audience in the show, which was fun for both the parents/guardians and their children.

In this show, the characters were conflicted with what type of party they would put together in their community. The diverse choices were a beach party, a Superhero party, a fiesta (Spanish celebration), a cookie party, or a trash party (for Oscar the Grouch).

At the same time, it was a didactic show that educated young children about the strong values of a community and to compromise, by fully furnishing them with the definitions for both of those words. It was divided into two acts, with a brief intermission in between.

The Verdict

Overall, Sesame Street Live! was remarkable at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. It was a pleasant, family-bonding experience that transported their audience back to 123 Sesame Street. The entire cast soared as a whole, ranging from the actors, to the Muppet characters, to the dancers. The production featured top-notch technology that was innovative and interactive, as well as some neat special effects. Sesame Street Live! is highly recommended for the entire family, as well as for adults to help them relieve their youth, and subsequently share those experiences and create new Sesame Street memories with their kids. It garners an A rating.
