Sesame Street Live!

'Sesame Street Live! 'is a hexad of live stage shows occurring between late winter and late fall 2022. The first show took place at Madison Square Garden in New York from Feb. 14-15, the second show was at Staples Center in Los Angeles from Apr. 12-13, the third was at Amway Center in Orlando from Jun. 10-11, the fourth at Wembley Arena in London from Jul. 20-21, the fifth at Rogers Centre in Toronto from Sept. 16-17, and the final show at International Convention Centre Sydney from Nov. 18-19.

Ernie and Bert are the hosts of a two-hour variety show (directed by Prairie Dawn with assistant Trevor Monster) featuring their Sesame Street friends, and presenting new performances of classic Sesame Street songs and sketches, as well as covers of musical classics such as "Send in the Clowns", "Clap for the Wolfman", and "Copacabana". Unlike other Sesame Street live shows, these shows utilized the official puppets used on the show itself rather than walk-around costume versions. The puppeteers, clad all in black, are exposed to the audience, while two large screens loom over both sides of the stage, both of which frame only the Muppet characters (however, the performers reveal themselves during the curtain call). Unusual for a live show, the Muppet performers both spoke and sang live, making the experience slightly different for each show.

In addition, celebrities make cameos throughout the show (who vary from show to show), including Neil Patrick Harris, Jim Carrey, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Whoopi Goldberg, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Tom Bergeron, Bobby Moynihan, Jimmy Kimmel, Michael Buble, Howie Mandel, Randy Rainbow, Celine Dion, Sia, Lloyd Ahlquist and Peter Shukoff, Ryan Reynolds (reprising his role as Deadpool), and Mark Hamill as the voice of the Joker.

The shows were produced by Sesame Workshop, the Jim Henson Company, HIT Entertainment, Sony Wonder, Sirius Thinking Ltd., Fred Rogers Productions, WGBH Educational Foundation, FilmRise, Big Idea Entertainment, and Scholastic Media (a rare instance of a Scholastic-produced project that isn't a media adaptation of their books); the current Sesame Workshop logo, the 2002 Jim Henson Home Entertainment logo (with "Home Entertainment" replaced with "The Jim Henson Company"), the 2001 HIT Entertainment logo, the 1995 Sony Wonder logo, the Sirius Thinking Ltd. logo, the Fred Rogers Productions logo, the 1977 WGBH logo, the classic FilmRise logo, the 1999 Big Idea Entertainment logo, and the 2003 Scholastic logo are all seen during the beginning of each show. The MSG, Staples Center, and Amway Center shows aired on local PBS stations (WNET, KCET, and WUCF-TV), as well as on PBS Kids and Universal Kids, on Jan. 18, 2023, while the Wembley Arena, Rogers Centre, and ICC Sydney shows aired on BBC and CBeebies, YTV and Treehouse TV, and ABC and ABC Kids in Australia, respectively, the next day. WGBH in Boston, WQED in Pittsburgh, ABC, NBC, CBS, CBC, HBO and HBO Family, FOX, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., Cartoon Network, CBBC, Citytv, TBS, TNT, the CW, Boomerang, Paramount Network, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Freeform aired them the following week.

All six shows received positive reviews from critics and audiences. Reviewing the Madison Square Garden performances, The New York Times lauded Sesame Street Live! as "a children's concert with something to please all ages." The Los Angeles Times similarly praised the Staples Center shows as "a hilarious blast from the most famous puppets on television," while, speaking of the Wembley Arena shows, The Sun opined, "Big Bird, Elmo and company are as popular as ever!"

All six shows were released on DVD, Blu-ray, Ultra-HD Blu-ray and digital download by Shout! Factory in May 2023, complete with bonus material, including behind-the-scenes footage, bios on the Muppet characters and their performers, a photo gallery, a sing-along feature, trailers for other Shout! Factory titles, and more. They were also released on the HBO Max streaming service in early August 2023, as well as on the Noggin mobile streaming app.

Highlights
Oscar the Grouch opens the show by singing the "Grouch Anthem" with some other Grouches. (This song was performed at Madison Square Garden, Staples Center and Amway Center)

A Muppet version of Queen Elizabeth II (performed by Louise Gold) tries to find her seat before the show starts. (This was only shown at Wembley Arena)

An Anything Muppet Mountie (performed by Eric Jacobson) leads the audience in singing "O, Canada". (This song was only performed at Rogers Centre)

A Muppet kangaroo named Keeshan (performed by Matt Vogel) goes over a few safety instructions for the audience before the show starts. (This was only shown at ICC Sydney)

Trevor Monster, Prairie Dawn, Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Count von Count, and Elmo sing a medley comprised of: "Somebody Come and Play", "Sesame Street Theme", "Rubber Duckie", "Doin' the Pigeon", "C is for Cookie", "ABC-DEF-GHI", "Song of the Count", "Elmo's Song", and "Welcome!"

Ernie explains the history of Sesame Street, including its co-creator Joan Ganz Cooney, the influence of Jim Henson and his Muppets, the importance of music on the show, and the topics it has tackled over the years, from healthy habits and social skills to emergencies and death. Telly Monster interrupts Ernie in the MSG show, frantically searching for the bathroom (not to go, but to search for his hairbrush), where Ernie tells him is at the end of the hall leading to the stage to the right. He is interrupted by Grover in the Staples Center show, who explains that he missed the tour bus to the arena, so a "pretty limo driver" named Marissa (played by Colleen Smith) drove him instead. Grover asks Marissa to drive him around L.A., since he won't be needed in the show for a while. In response, she drags him away by his nose. In the Amway Center show, Abby Cadabby interrupts Ernie by magically appearing and disappearing constantly to mess with him. When asked why she is doing this, Abby confesses that she wanted to play hide-and-seek with him.

Ernie spotlights the many co-productions of Sesame Street from around the world, including Mexico, Germany, the Netherlands, Kuwait, Israel, Egypt, India, Spain, France, Brazil, China, Japan, Bangladesh, Russia, South Africa, Canada, Indonesia, Palestine, Portugal, Norway, Turkey, Poland, Northern Ireland, and Britain (The Furchester Hotel). He and Bert originally scheduled a parade of international Muppets, but according to Prairie Dawn (who's barefoot throughout the show because her shoes are being shined and her socks are "this week's dirty laundry"), no one from the international streets could make it, citing time concerns and travel costs. Ernie wonders if they could instead stage a salute to professional wrestling (MSG), comic books (Staples), American theme parks (Amway), children's television characters (Wembley), the animal kingdom (Rogers), and the nations of the world (ICC Sydney), but the idea is shut down by Prairie.

A Lavender AM caricature of Michael Jackson lip-syncs to Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel", with backup by three Anything Muppet singers.

Oscar sings "I Love Trash", while other Grouches present the trash mentioned in the song. Grundgetta, Slimey the Worm, a rebuilt Bruno the Trashman, Oscar's mother, and Irvine also make appearances. At the song's end, Oscar tries to feed his 13-month-old newspaper with fish filling to a Muppet raccoon, animals that Oscar calls "a Grouch's best friend", who happily chows down...on everything in Oscar's trash can.

Zoe leads Julia and some monster friends, and the audience, in a performance of "A Very Simple Dance".

Elmo leads Trevor Monster (and the audience) in a performance of "Sing After Me". For performances where Ryan Dillon performed Elmo, Trevor was performed on-stage by another puppeteer, lip-synching to Dillon's live vocals.

The Two-Headed Monster spells out a word and demonstrates its meaning (BOOM at MSG, DANCE at Staples, SWIM at Amway, RUN at Wembley, FLY at Rogers, and DUCK at ICC Sydney).

Prairie Dawn leads the Count and the audience in a rendition of "Beep". Like in the original song, while Prairie demonstrates how to remember simple numbers by saying "beep" that number of times, the Count asks about higher and higher numbers, until Prairie grows frustrated and runs off.

Ernie, clad in his pajamas, sings and tap dances to "Dance Myself to Sleep" with some Muppet sheep while playing his bugle, even inviting Abby Cadabby and Prairie Dawn (calming down after the "Beep" fiasco) to dance with him. Abby is instantly eager to join in, while Prairie is initially reluctant, but after Ernie offers her dancing advice ("Let your feet feel the beat and your body does the rest."), she and Abby get so caught up in tap dancing that they continue even after Ernie heads for bed ("This is so much fun, I don't think I'll ever fall asleep!" exclaims Prairie). The scene was executed in front of a black background, with nine puppeteers, three for each Muppet, dressed all in black and invisible to the audience.

In Ernie's dream, he sings "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" with Christopher Cerf (MSG), Randy Rainbow (Staples), Michael Buble (Amway), Billie Eilish (Wembley), Celine Dion (Rogers), and Sia (ICC Sydney). Several Muppets make cameos during the song, including Slimey (referencing a story arc from the show's 29th season in which Slimey became one of five worms to fly to the Moon), a Martian, Wanda Cousteau, some Muppet goldfish, a Muppet shark, a Muppet octopus, Chicago the Lion, Herb the Dinosaur, Shivers the Penguin, some Muppet penguins, Wolfgang the Seal, Old MacDonald, Gladys the Cow, Alfred Duck, Buster the Horse, Fred the Wonder Horse, some Muppet dogs, Little Murray Sparkles, Chip and Dip, and Iago the Donkey.

Murray Monster makes his triumphant return, and plays "One of These Things" (changed to "Three of These Things" in the Staples Center, Amway Center, and Wembley Arena shows) with his old friend Ovejita the lamb, using scissors, a sheet of paper, a bottle of glue, and a rock (MSG); Murray, Ovejita, and two other monsters (Staples); a cat, a dog, a mouse, and a tiger (Amway); a towel, a rubber duck, a bar of soap, and a pillow (Wembley); a kiwi, a pineapple, a plum, and a jellybean (Rogers); and a baseball, a basketball, a golf ball, a tennis ball, and an American football (ICC Sydney).

In Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck, Cookie Monster and Chef Gonger prepare beef Stroganoff (MSG), seven-layer dip (Staples), watermelon gazpacho (Amway), hasenpfeffer (Wembley), cordon bleu (Rogers), and cabbage rolls (ICC Sydney).

Ernie introduces the audience to "the bathtime boogie that's sweeping the nation" as he invites them to "Do De Rubber Duck", sung by Zoe instead of Ernie himself, who originally sang the song (though he does provide duckie squeaks). She's soon joined by Telly, Oscar, Abby (singing Kermit the Frog's verse from the original version), the Count, Grover (singing Biff's verse), Guy Smiley, Gladys the Cow, and Hoots the Owl. While not getting verses, Elmo, Rosita, Baby Bear, Little Bird, Rudy, and Julia also appear in the bathroom. At the end of the song, the other characters disappear a la getting sucked down the drain.

After a spirited introduction from Mr. Snuffleupagus, The Oinker Sisters perform "A New Way to Walk".

Accompanied by four AM Monsters on piano, guitar, saxophone, and flute, Trevor Monster sings "Bein' Green". Throughout the song, he lampshades the oddity of a yellow monster singing a song about the color green, lamenting that he's the wrong color before singing ("Oscar didn't want to sing it, so...") and changing one of the final lyrics from "I'm green, and it'll do fine" to "If I were green, it would do fine".

The Honkers dance and honk to "Honk Around the Clock", until they destroy the clock offstage.

Rosita sings "Copacabana" with The Oinker Sisters as backup singers, and Anything Muppets taking on the roles of Lola (Lavender), Tony (Green) and Rico (Pumpkin). Her attire includes a Carmen Miranda-inspired hat, a frilly dress that stretches to her legs, and blue fabric attached to her arms (resembling her original winged arms from pre-2004). Character cameos include Guy Smiley, Louie, Mae, Freddy, Maggie Cadabby, Roosevelt Franklin, Prairie Dawn, Betty Lou, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Humphrey, Ingrid, Leo the Party Monster, Sherlock Hemlock, Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats, The Amazing Mumford, Barkley, Watson, Polly Darton, Lefty the Salesman, Little Bird, Don Music, Mr. Honker, a Dinger, Roosevelt Franklin's Mother, Little Jerry and the Monotones, Professor Hastings, Granny Fanny Nesselrode, Sam the Robot, Captain Vegetable, Harvey Kneeslapper, Simon Soundman, the Busby Twins, Monty, Herbert Birdsfoot, Benny Rabbit, Colambo, Lulu, Deena, Pearl, Stinky the Stinkweed, Madame Chairbird, Kingston Livingston III, Meryl Sheep, Ferlinghetti Donizetti, Dexter, Lily, Placido Flamingo, Elizabeth, Sonny Friendly, Leo Birdelli, Aristotle, Sherry Netherland, Bug, Narf, Mel, Googel, Phoebe, Roxie Marie, Merry Monster, Ruby, Leslie Mostly, some Pesties, Biff and Sully. Baby Tooth and the Fuzzy Funk dance in the background.

Prairie Dawn, reading a book, sings "In My Book" with the characters mentioned in the song, including Butch the Tiger, Chicago the Lion, a Muppet alligator, an Orange Gold pirate, and a Fat Blue Live Hand sorcerer.

Ernie and Rosita perform "El Patito", a parody of "Despacito", about Rubber Duckie. Ovejita and Herry, both operated by different puppeteers, provide background music.

In a backstage segment, Lloyd Ahlquist and Peter Shukoff teach Oscar how to vent out his grouchiness with a rap battle.

Elmo sings "In Your Imagination". Wolfgang the Seal and Hoots also make appearances.

Abby sings "Imagine That". Other characters in the song include Ernie (who originally sang the song) as a king, the Muppet horse used as Pferd on Sesamstrasse, a Muppet dragon, and Elmo as a sea captain.

Cookie Monster sings the hip-hop/rap song "Healthy Food", joined by a Muppet pineapple, apple, bread, pear, and broccoli. Later, they're joined by a Muppet tomato, banana, lettuce, potato, cheese, corn, eggplant, bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, peach, beet, zucchini, and pumpkin.

The Count and some Muppet sheep perform "Lambaba". Mary from "Mary Had a Little Lamb", Little Bo Peep, a Muppet ram, duck, cow, chicken, and dog also make appearances.

To slow down the show's pace, the Sesame Street Muppets perform a medley of "nice and easy" songs. Ernie sings "Smile" by Charlie Chaplin (with the orchestration being a slowed down, low-tone version of Jimmy Durante's cover), Trevor sings "That's Life" by Frank Sinatra (the music is from Sinatra's cover, albeit slowed down and low-tone), and Hoots sings "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong (again, a low-tone mix of the original version). Elmo, Zoe, Big Bird, Abby Cadabby, Bert, Grover, Telly, Rosita, Prairie Dawn, Baby Bear, Betty Lou, and Rudy are the backup singers.

In a diner setting, Bert, seated at an otherwise empty table, sings "Send in the Clowns" as he waits for a potential date, accompanied by a band consisting of Ernie on trumpet, Elmo on violin, Prairie Dawn on piano, Hoots on saxophone, Rosita on acoustic guitar, Baby Bear on flute, Telly on tuba, Herry on bass, Trevor on clarinet, and Abby on harp. The tragic scene is juxtaposed with footage of Grover, Zoe, Cookie Monster, Gonger, the Two-Headed Monster, Rudy, Murray Monster, Ovejita, a Honker, and several AM Monsters dressed as circus clowns, as a literal pun on the song's title. The orchestration and pitch of the song are taken from Frank Sinatra's cover.

Abby and Telly sing a duet of "Little Things" and "Picture a World", while admiring Muppet butterflies, flowers, and other forms of nature.

Big Bird sings "When the River Meets the Sea", accompanied by Prairie Dawn on piano, Elmo on violin, and Rosita on acoustic guitar. He is soon joined by the other Sesame Street Muppets on backup, and in the Staples Center show, by Paul Williams (who wrote the song).

To lighten the mood, Grover, Herry and Cookie Monster sing "Fuzzy and Blue". Elmo enters, wanting to join them despite being fuzzy and red. The three give in, and change the song to "Fuzzy and Blue (and Red)".

The Michael Jackson Muppet takes the stage again, this time lip-synching to Jackson's "Thriller".

The Wiggles perform a medley of "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car", "Big Red Car", "Here Come The Wiggles", and parts of "Get Ready to Wiggle", "Fruit Salad", "Hot Potato", "Can You Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?", "Rock-a-Bye Your Bear", "Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship", "Wiggly Party", "Hey Now, Let's Have a Party!" and “Do the Wiggle Groove". During "Here Come the Wiggles", instrumentals of "Dorothy the Dinosaur", "Move Your Arms Like Henry", "Wags the Dog", and "Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!" are heard as the Wiggly Friends are introduced.

During intermission, Weldon the Internet troll appears, and attempts to drive the audience away from the theater. (This sketch was only performed at Amway Center). The intermission music is "Pinball Number Count".

Ernie, some backup monster singers, Cookie Monster and Gonger sing a humorous parody of "Bohemian Rhapsody", called "Cookie's Rhapsody". The song is about Cookie Monster as he becomes wrecked with guilt after he eats a flan that was meant for Gonger, with the singers not helping him feel better at all. Near the end, Gonger arrives and tells Cookie he's not angry at him; he doesn't even like flan. Cookie smiles, then breaks down in quiet tears as Gonger comforts his friend.

Big Bird, Elmo, Ernie, Abby, Zoe, Prairie Dawn, Trevor, Rosita, Bert, Oscar, Grover, Cookie Monster, The Count, Herry, Telly, Baby Bear, Snuffy, Hoots, the Two-Headed Monster, Gonger, Little Bird, Roosevelt Franklin, Betty Lou, Barkley, Alice Snuffleupagus, and Mr. Johnson all sing "What's the Name of That Song?"

In a new installment of "Monsterpiece Theater", Alistair Cookie reviews humorous film parodies: a film based on the Super Morphin Mega Monsters (themselves parodies of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise) starring Elmo, Zoe, Telly Monster and Rosita (MSG), Grouch (a parody of the Todd Phillips-directed Joker) starring Oscar (Staples), Batmonster & Red Robin (a spoof of the 1960s' Batman TV series and tie-in movie) starring Cookie Monster and Elmo as superheroes battling Muppet versions of the Joker, voiced by Mark Hamill, and Harley Quinn, voiced by Tara Strong, with the help of Super Grover and Commissioner Prairie Dawn (Amway), Star S'mores: The Rise of Piewalker (spoofing Star Wars' ninth film installment) starring an older Luke Piewalker and Princess Parfaita, and four new Muppets; Brulee (a parody of the character Rey from the sequel trilogy), Kylo Creme (spoofing Kylo Ren), Fin the Fish (a take on Finn) and the evil Emperor (a spoof of Emperor Palpatine) (Wembley), The Producers starring Oscar as Max Bialystock, Telly as Leo Bloom, The Count as Franz Liebkind, Rosita as Ulla, Bert and Ernie as Roger De Bris and Carmen Ghia (Rogers), and a documentary film starring Cookie Monster spoofing Steve Irwin as "The Cookie Hunter" (with Zoe as a parody of Terri Irwin), a famous conservationist defending wildlife and their habitats against a vicious game hunter who seeks to kill every animal in a jungle, in The Cookie Hunter: Call of the Wild (ICC Sydney).

A parade of classic Sesame Street Muppets marches by Ernie and Bert. The parade Muppets change each show: Roosevelt Franklin, Little Bird, The Amazing Mumford, Farley, Rodeo Rosie, Merry Monster, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Forgetful Jones, Barkley (MSG); Roosevelt Franklin, Little Bird, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Biff, Sully, Harvey Kneeslapper, Don Music, Forgetful Jones, Lefty the Salesman (Staples); Roosevelt Franklin, Little Bird, Professor Hastings, Herbert Birdsfoot, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Polly Darton, Sonny Friendly, Forgetful Jones, Clementine (Amway); Roosevelt Franklin, Little Bird, Placido Flamingo, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Frazzle, Kingston Livingston III, Wolfgang the Seal, Forgetful Jones, Simon Soundman (Wembley); Roosevelt Franklin, Little Bird, Roxie Marie, Dr. Nobel Price, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Baby Natasha, Alice Snuffleupagus, Forgetful Jones, Benny Rabbit (Rogers); Roosevelt Franklin, Little Bird, Ruby, Humphrey, Ingrid, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Leo the Party Monster, Forgetful Jones, Deena (ICC Sydney).

The Michael Jackson Muppet returns for a third performance, lip-synching to "Billie Jean".

Prairie Dawn plays a slower, lower-pitched version of Beethoven's "Fur Elise" on her piano.

The Count and some backup Anything Muppets sing "Clap for the Wolfman", with Jackman Wolf providing witty quips. The music is played by a monster band consisting of Elmo on acoustic guitar, Telly on tuba, Herry on bass, Murray on electric guitar, the Two-Headed Monster on keyboard, Gonger on drums, and Trevor on saxophone.

Grover performs "Monster in the Mirror" with some other monsters. The twin Grover in the mirror was achieved with an identical spare Grover puppet behind a mirror frame, lip-synched to Eric Jacobson's vocals by another puppeteer. Backup singers include Maurice Monster, Clancy, Kermit the Forg, Harvey Monster, Harry Monster, Bruce Monster, the lavender Frazzletone, and Billy Monster.

In perhaps their first time in a duet, Zoe and Prairie Dawn sing "Loud and Soft"; Zoe enjoys singing loud, low, and long, while Prairie prefers to sing soft, high, and short. They're soon joined by Big Bird and Snuffy, with Big Bird singing loud, high, and long, and Snuffy singing soft, low, and short. They all agree on one thing, though; they like to sing good. Details about Zoe and Prairie are revealed before the song (for instance, whereas Zoe is fond of ballet, Prairie prefers to tap dance; and while Prairie likes to play the piano, Zoe loves to play music on a trombone).

Ernie invites the audience (and Bert) to play three rounds of "Guess What's Next", first using household items to create a shape pattern (circle, square, triangle), fruits and vegetables to create a color pattern (red, orange, yellow, green), and finally Muppet animals (duck, sheep, penguin, chicken, cow). The sketch ends with Horatio the Elephant running amok and the entire cast running for their lives.

Dr. Thad and the Medications sing "The Ten Commandments of Health" while their patient, Mr. Johnson (Harvey P. Dull in the Wembley Arena show) repeats the commandments.

Stunt Monster Grover attempts a dangerous act or unnatural magic trick: cutting through a pineapple on Telly's head while blindfolded (MSG), trying to become the first monster to successfully jump over the Moon (Staples), revealing his mastery at card manipulation (Amway), shooting a laser beam arrow through an apple atop Mr. Johnson's head (Wembley), using mind powers to reverse time to the first episode of Sesame Street (Rogers), and assisting Prairie Dawn in creating a real-life version of a comic book character (ICC Sydney).

Bert (MSG), Ernie (Staples), Telly (Amway), Grover (Wembley), Elmo (Rogers) and Big Bird (ICC Sydney) sing "People in Your Neighborhood", spotlighting a trash collector, a barber (MSG), a postman, a firefighter (Staples), teachers, a newsdealer (Amway), a grocer, a doctor (Wembley), a dentist, a bus driver (Rogers), a baker and a cleaner (ICC Sydney), all played by Anything Muppets. In each version, the main singer uses the AM's attire and accessories to figure out what their job is.

Backed by a jazz band of Anything Muppets, Hoots sings "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", with "Grinch" changed to "Grouch" to make the song about Oscar.

Hoots next performs "Put Down the Duckie" with Ernie, and backup by the AM jazz band.

The Count and his bats teach "The Batty Bat", a dance that he reminisces of learning as a boy in his ancestors' castle in his native Transylvania, to the audience.

Backed by Mama Bear and the Monsters, Grover sings "New York, New York". (This song was only performed at MSG)

Cookie Monster and Gonger take the stage to sing "Immigrant Song". Ovejita and Trevor supply background music. (This song was only performed at Staples Center)

Bert takes the stage to sing "Can't Stop the Feeling". (This song was only performed at Amway Center)

The Sesame Street Muppets sing "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions". (This song was only performed at Wembley Arena)

Riding motorcycles, Cookie Monster and a gang of biker monsters sing "Born to Be Wild". (This song was only performed at Rogers Centre)

Mama Bear and the Monsters perform "Waltzing Matilda". (This song was only performed at ICC Sydney)

In a park, Oscar, Grundgetta, and a chorus of Grouches sing "I'm Sad Because I'm Happy" as characters like Baby Bear, Telly, Trevor, Rosita, Abby, Grover, Herry, Elmo, Zoe, Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Gonger, Prairie Dawn, Roosevelt Franklin, Betty Lou, Little Bird, and Benny are blown away in a hurricane. (The Staples Center version replaces Grover with Mr. Johnson, since the former is still yet to leap over the Moon)

The Sesame Street Muppets perform a "Salute to Broadway", which consists of excerpts of select songs from A Chorus Line, A Little Night Music, Annie, Annie Got Your Gun, Avenue Q, The Book of Mormon, Cabaret, Carousel, Cats, Chicago, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Fiddler on the Roof, Grease, Gypsy, Hair, Hairspray, Hamilton, Hello Dolly!, Into the Woods, The King and I, Les Miserables, Little Shop of Horrors, Mamma Mia!, Man of La Mancha, Mary Poppins, The Music Man, My Fair Lady, Oklahoma!, Paint Your Wagon, The Phantom of the Opera, The Producers, Rent, The Rocky Horror Show, Singin' in the Rain, The Sound of Music, South Pacific, Spamalot, West Side Story, Wicked, and The Wizard of Oz, among other shows. (This sketch was only performed at Madison Square Garden)

The Sesame Street Muppets perform a "Salute to Disney", consisting of excerpts of songs from 101 Dalmatians, Aladdin, Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, The Black Cauldron, Cinderella, Coco, Dumbo, The Fox and The Hound, Frozen, The Great Mouse Detective, Hercules, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Jungle Book, Lady and the Tramp, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Moana, Mulan, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Pocahontas, The Princess and the Frog, Robin Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Song of the South, Tangled, Tarzan, Toy Story, and Winnie the Pooh, among other films. (This sketch was only performed at Staples Center)

A Muppet marionette performed by special guest puppeteer Barnaby Dixon dances to "Bad Romance". (This sketch was only performed at Wembley Arena)

In a disco setting, Zoe, in an attire inspired by John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever, and Abby, with an attire patterned after Ginger Rogers, dance to songs including "I Will Survive", "Car Wash", "Celebration", "That's the Way I Like It", "Funky Town", "YMCA", "Got to Be Real" and "Sesame Street Fever", while other Muppets watch and cheer them on. (This sketch was only performed at Rogers Centre)

Elmo and Zoe dance with robotic versions of themselves to "One Click Headshot". (This song was only performed at ICC Sydney)

Ernie, three Honkers, and a Dinger perform "The Honker-Duckie-Dinger Jamboree".

Bip Bippadotta and three Anything Muppets sing "Fat Cat". As in the original version, Bip runs up and annoys the other three with a fast scat that combines the four main rhymes in each verse and others.

In a remake of a classic Sesame Street sketch, Ernie and Bert invite the Count to a sleepover at their apartment, with Bert offering to sleep on the couch so the Count can take his bed. However, the Count finds he is unable to fall asleep, so Ernie suggests counting (Muppet) sheep as they jump over a (CGI) fence, which the Count does, complete with his trademark thunder and lightning, which startles and frightens Ernie. The next morning, the Count wakes up feeling cheerful and energetic, leading Bert to believe the Count had slept well last night, to which the Count reveals that he didn't sleep at all. It soon becomes apparent that the Count had kept Ernie awake all night long with his counting, as Ernie is now sleepwalking and counting in a monotonous voice. The Count asks Bert if he can have another sleepover, to which an exhausted Ernie collapses.

Telly, alone onstage, sings "All By Myself" and "My Heart Will Go On". The orchestration and pitch of both songs are taken from Celine Dion's covers.

Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird, Chicago the Lion, Butch the Tiger, Horatio the Elephant, Kathleen the Cow, Dawg the Dog, Chip and Dip, Poco Loco, the Big Bad Wolf, Joey and Davey Monkey, Iago the Donkey, Athena the Owl, Jamie Fox, Preston Rabbit, Shelley the Turtle, a Muppet bear, fish, sheep, goat, frog, chicken, pig, horse, gnu, camel, alligator, toucan, penguin, duck, turkey, spider, robin, porcupine, woodchuck, mouse, bee, kangaroo, grasshopper, gorilla, moose, squirrel, shark, beaver, koala, zebra, giraffe, ostrich, snake, ant, crow, rooster, raccoon, skunk, and polar bear sing "We Are All Earthlings". During the song, a montage plays of various different habitats and animals, at one point showing Big Bird in his nest. The song ends with sunlight entering the arena. This performance of the song combines the pitch of the original version with the pace of the 2002 remake sung by Jill Scott, and a new, more powerful orchestration, making the song sound more heartfelt and even bittersweet, topped off with a gospel choir that appears during the climax of the song.

Big Bird leads the audience in singing "Sing" and "One Small Voice" as part of the closing medley. For the third song in the medley, Ernie, Abby, Elmo, Bert, Prairie Dawn, and the other Sesame Street Muppets perform "Just One Person".

As an encore, the Sesame Street Muppets sing "The Street I Live On". (This song was performed at every arena except Amway Center)

As an encore, the Sesame Street, The Muppets, Fraggle Rock, and Bear in the Big Blue House characters all come together to sing "We Are the World". (This song was only performed at Amway Center)

After the song, the Muppet performers take their bows, with the main performers receiving a curtain call. Toots Thielemans' classic harmonica instrumental of the Sesame Street theme song plays as the audience leaves the theater.

As the music ends, Ernie tells one final joke. In the Madison Square Garden show, he says, "Thank you, everyone! We just love being at the Garden. There's just one thing it needs: flowers!" At Staples Center, the joke is, "Ah, Los Angeles! The people here are so nice! Of course, when you're called "the City of Angels", it comes with the territory." At Amway Center, the joke is, "I tell ya, there isn't a place lovelier than right here, in Orlando, Florida! Of course, I also love Miami. And my uncle." The Wembley Arena joke is, "London, England. I'm glad we put on a show across the pond. After all, we're already mainstream." The joke at Rogers Centre is, "Toronto, Canada, home of the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre. I'm kinda disappointed they don't also have the Keeshan Arena." (a joke about Fred Rogers AKA Mister Rogers and Bob Keeshan AKA Captain Kangaroo) The ICC Sydney joke is "Sydney, Australia. Everything about it is just so top-notch beautiful. Too bad it's sometimes called "the land down under." After the joke, Ernie does his signature laugh and walks off.
