Sesame Street Live!

'Sesame Street Live! 'is a tetralogy of live stage shows occurring between late winter and late fall 2021. The first show took place at Madison Square Garden from Feb. 14-15, the second show was at Staples Center from May 12-13, the third was at Wembley Arena from Aug. 10-11, and the fourth at Rogers Centre from Nov. 16-17.

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 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, Billie Eilish, Celine Dion, 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, Sirius Thinking Ltd., WGBH Educational Foundation, FilmRise, Worldwide Pants, 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 Sirius Thinking Ltd. logo, the 1977 WGBH logo, the classic FilmRise logo, the current Worldwide Pants logo, and the 2003 Scholastic logo are all seen during the beginning of each show. The MSG and Staples Center shows aired on their respective local PBS stations (WNET and KOCE), as well as on PBS Kids and Universal Kids, on Jan. 18, 2022, while the Wembley Arena and Rogers Centre shows aired on BBC and CBeebies, and YTV and Treehouse TV, 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., ABC and ABC Kids in Australia, Cartoon Network, CBBC, Citytv, TBS, TNT, the CW, Boomerang, Paramount Network, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Freeform.

All four 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.

Ernie, Bert, and others 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.

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.

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

Oscar the Grouch sings "I Love Trash", while some other Grouches present the trash mentioned in the song. 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 in a performance of "Sing After Me". Since Ryan Dillon performed both Elmo and Trevor, Trevor was performed onstage by another puppeteer, lip-synching to Dillon's live vocals.

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

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 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), Billie Eilish (Staples), Celine Dion (Wembley), and Randy Rainbow (Rogers). Several other 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 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 (Wembley); and a kiwi, a pineapple, a plum, and a jellybean (Rogers).

In Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck, Cookie Monster and Chef Gonger prepare a cheesesteak (MSG), calamari (Staples), haggis (Wembley), and cabbage rolls (Rogers).

Ernie introduces the audience to "the bathtime boogie that's sweeping the nation" as he invites them to "Do De Rubber Duck" with him and Rubber Duckie. He'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, Zoe, Rosita, Baby Bear, Little Bird, Rudy, and Julia also appear in the bathroom. At the end of the song, the other characters disappear ala 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) and Rosita (Wembley, Rogers) sing "Copacabana" with The Oinker Sisters as backup singers, with 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). Character cameos include Guy Smiley, Louie, Mae, Freddy, Roosevelt Franklin, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Humphrey, Ingrid, Tough Eddie, 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, Leslie Mostly, Meryl Sheep, Ferlinghetti Donizetti, Dexter, Placido Flamingo, Elizabeth, Sonny Friendly, Leo Birdelli, Aristotle, Sherry Netherland, Bug, Narf, Mel, Googel, Phoebe, Roxie Marie, Merry Monster, Ruby, some Pesties, Biff and Sully. Baby Tooth and the Fuzoods, 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 performed in every arena except Staples Center).

The Sesame Street Muppets perform a "Salute to Disney", consisting of select songs from 101 Dalmatians, Aladdin, Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Coco, Dumbo, Frozen, 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)

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 exasperated 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 other Sesame Street Muppets and the various guest stars in singing "Sing" and "One Small Voice" as the closing number.

For an encore, Ernie, Abby, Elmo, Bert, Prairie Dawn, and the other Sesame Street Muppets and guest stars perform "Just One Person", 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.
