Sesame Street Live!

'Sesame Street Live! 'is a hexad of live stage shows occurring between late winter and late fall 2021. 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. 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. 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 Jason Isaacs, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bobby Moynihan, Neil Patrick Harris, Seth Rogen, Bill Hader, Rosie O'Donnell, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, John Ratzenberger, Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Trejo, The Wiggles (Greg Page, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, Anthony Field) and Friends, Elvis Costello, Paul Williams, Hayden Christensen, Steve Burns (of Blue's Clues fame), Randy Rainbow, Michael Buble, Billie Eilish, Celine Dion, Sia, Ryan Reynolds (reprising his role as Deadpool), and Mark Hamill as the voice of the Joker.

The shows were produced by Sesame Workshop in collaboration with the Jim Henson Company, HIT Entertainment, Sirius Thinking Ltd., WGBH Educational Foundation, FilmRise, and Scholastic Media (a rare instance of a Scholastic-produced project that isn't a media adaptation of their trademarked books); the current Sesame Workshop logo, the 1992 Jim Henson Productions logo (with "Productions" replaced with "The Jim Henson Company"), the 2001 HIT Entertainment logo, the Sirius Thinking Ltd. logo, the 1977 WGBH logo, the classic FilmRise 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 their respective local PBS stations (WNET, KOCE, and WUCF-TV), as well as on PBS Kids and Universal Kids, on Jan. 18, 2022, 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 very next day. The following week, in a rare move for a Sesame Street production, they were shown on PBS' WGBH station, 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.

All six shows were released on DVD, Blu-ray, Ultra-HD Blu-ray and digital download by Shout! Factory in May 2022, 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 2022, as well as on the Noggin mobile streaming app.

Highlights
Guy Smiley ("America's favorite game show host") introduces the show and the acts that the audience is about to see.

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. 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.

Ernie spotlights the numerous 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 commercial mascots (MSG), comic book supervillains (Staples), American theme parks (Amway), children's TV characters (Wembley), professional wrestling (Rogers), and the nations of the world (ICC Sydney), but the idea is shot 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 the Grouch sings "I Love Trash", while some 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.

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". Since Ryan Dillon performed both Elmo and Trevor, 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 Trevor Monster, 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, Trevor and the Count ask 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 Sesame Street 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, Chicago the Lion, Herb the Dinosaur, Shivers the Penguin, some Muppet penguins, Gladys the Cow, Alfred Duck, Buster the Horse, Fred the Wonder Horse, some Muppet dogs, Little Murray Sparkles, Chip and Dip, some Muppet pigeons, 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 a 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.

Backstage, Trevor Monster finds Prairie Dawn in her dressing room, and asks if she's ready for the next number. Prairie claims not yet, as she wants to paint her toes a jet black color, to compliment her dress. Trevor tells her, one, he doesn't see why Prairie would want her toes painted, and that they're beautiful just the way they are (he almost finishes before being shot down by a dirty look from Prairie), then informing her that each toe would require its own bottle of nail polish (and Trevor only has one left), and two, she's needed onstage right now. A shocked Prairie instantly runs off. (This scene was only performed at MSG and Staples Center)

Prairie Dawn (MSG, Staples), Rosita (Amway, Wembley) and Abby (Rogers, ICC Sydney) sing "Copacabana" with The Oinker Sisters as backup singers, and Anything Muppets taking on the roles of Lola (Lavender), Tony (Green) and Rico (Pumpkin). Prairie's era-appropriate outfit consists of a black bowtie atop her head, bronze earrings, a maroon dress cut down to the top of her legs, and silver rings decorating her toes. Rosita's 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). Abby wears a flashy fairy dress and a ring on her pinky finger. Character cameos include Guy Smiley, Louie, Mae, Freddy, Roosevelt Franklin, 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, Monty, Herbert Birdsfoot, Benny Rabbit, Colambo, Lulu, Deena, Pearl, Stinky the Stinkweed, Madame Chairbird, Meryl Sheep, Ferlinghetti Donizetti, Dexter, Placido Flamingo, Elizabeth, Sonny Friendly, Leo Birdelli, Tough Eddie, 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.

Ernie and Rosita perform "El Patito", a parody of "Despacito", about Rubber Duckie.

In a backstage segment, Lloyd Ahlquist and Peter Shukoff teach Oscar how to vent out his grouchiness with a rap battle. (This sketch was only performed at Staples Center).

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 song "Healthy Food", joined by a Muppet pineapple, apple, loaf of bread, pear, and broccoli. Later, they're joined by a Muppet tomato, banana, lettuce, potato, ear of 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.

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.

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 Paul Williams (who wrote the song), and the other Sesame Street Muppets on backup.

The Wiggles perform a medley consisting of: "Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car", "Get Ready to Wiggle", "Fruit Salad", "Hot Potato", "Can You Point Your Fingers and Do the Twist?", "Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship", "Dorothy the Dinosaur", "Wags the Dog", "Move Your Arms Like Henry", "Big Red Car", "Wiggly Party", "Balla Balla Bambina", "Hey Now, Let's Have a Party!" and "Do the Wiggle Groove".

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)

Ernie, some backup monster singers (including Trevor Monster), 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, Rosita, Prairie Dawn, Trevor, Bert, Oscar, Grover, Cookie Monster, The Count, Herry, Telly, Baby Bear, Snuffy, Hoots, the Two-Headed Monster, Gonger, Little Bird, Roosevelt Franklin, Betty Lou, Louie, Mae, 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 a trailer for 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 (Amway), Star S'mores: The Rise of Piewalker (spoofing Star Wars' ninth film installment) starring an older Luke Piewalker and Princess Parfaita, and two new Muppets; Brulee (a parody of the character Rey from the sequel trilogy) and Kylo Creme (spoofing Kylo Ren) (Wembley), a Sesame interpretation of The Producers starring Oscar as Max Bialystock, Telly as Leo Bloom, The Count as Franz Liebkind, Rosita as Ulla, and 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 in charge of caring for wildlife and their habitats, in The Cookie Hunter: Call of the Wild (ICC Sydney).

A 20-second "Parade of Classic Sesame Street Muppets" which marches by Ernie and Bert (in lieu of the parade of international characters). The Muppet characters in the parade vary from show to 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, Kingston Livingston III, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Polly Darton, Sonny Friendly, Forgetful Jones, Clementine (Amway); Roosevelt Franklin, Little Bird, Placido Flamingo, Sherlock Hemlock, Betty Lou, Frazzle, Sam the Robot, 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, this time 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.

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 "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), attempting to become the first monster to successfully jump over the Moon (Staples Center), revealing his mastery at card manipulation (Amway Center), 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), Big Bird (ICC Sydney) and some Anything Muppets perform "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). In each version, the main singer uses the AM's attire and accessories to figure out what their job is.

Ernie and Hoots the Owl perform "Put Down the Duckie" with Mama Bear and the Monsters.

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.

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 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, The Music Man, My Fair Lady, Oh! Calcutta!, Oklahoma!, Paint Your Wagon, The Phantom of the Opera, Pippin, 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 select 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, Monsters, Inc., Mulan, 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)

Muppet-style marionettes, performed by special guest puppeteers the Chiodo Brothers, dance along to "I'm a Gummy Bear (The Gummy Bear Song)". (This sketch was only performed at Amway Center)

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

A Muppet marionette, performed by special guest puppeteer Ronnie Burkett, dances to "The Harlem Shake". (This sketch was only performed at Rogers Centre)

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 retorts, "Slept? Who slept?" 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.

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, Ralphie the Parrot, Athena the Owl, Shelley the Turtle, a Muppet bear, fish, sheep, goat, frog, chicken, pig, horse, gnu, camel, alligator, toucan, penguin, duck, robin, woodchuck, mouse, kangaroo, cricket, gorilla, moose, beaver, koala, zebra, ostrich, snake, crow, rooster, raccoon, skunk, polar bear, and the Twiddlebugs sing "We Are All Earthlings".

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

For an encore, the Sesame Street Muppets and guest stars sing "The Street I Live On", with Ernie thanking the guest stars before the final verse. After the song, the Muppet performers take their bows, with the main performers receiving a roll 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 just 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, "Wonderful 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.
