La La City: A Spooky Musical

A Spooky Musical is a 2003 La La City Speical, as performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra.

Synopsis
Eleanor (on the violin), Fox in Socks (drums), Mr. Knox (tuba) and Katrina Sue (piano) have started their own band. Target listens in, but they can't seem to figure out what goes wrong when they all try to play together. he to see the Boston Pops Orchestra, who will be playing Spooky Musical.

They arrive at Symphony Hall (shot on location, and on a separate sound stage) and they meet an old friend of Papa Bear's: the Boston Pops conductor, Keith Lockhart. Backstage, Lockhart introduces Baby Bear to the solo instruments that each play a character in the story (much like it would be done on an album recording of the piece). Baby Bear is trying to understand how music can tell a story without any words. Though he is still not sure, they head back to their seats as the rest of the audience is arriving. (Seen here in cameos: Caroll Spinney and Muppet wrangler Michelle Hickey).

On their return to Sesame Street, Baby Bear has also figured out why Elmo's band doesn't sound quite right: they need a conductor to keep them in time and so that they all don't play over each other. Baby Bear volunteers for the job. With his help, they're finally able to play music together.
