Sesame Street Live (at The Theater at Madison Square Garden)

Sesame Street Live provides a unique musical opportunity for you and your child. As a child's first theatrical performance, it marks the beginning of a lifelong journey of enjoying and learning through live performance. Here are a few things to remember as you plan your visit.

Most children are familiar with entertainment that happens on television and computer monitors. Explain that this will be different, because there will be a story happening live in front of them. The story doesn't stop if you leave the room, but there will be a break in the middle.

Have fun! Sing along, dance, clap, and join in the audience participation elements. But, be safe as well as considerate to those around you. Please don't allow your child to stand on chairs or put your child on your shoulders.

Talk about the show afterwards. Which character was your child's favorite? Do you remember some of the songs? Did you learn new words in Spanish? Did you count along with the Count? Reinforce the show's educational and value lessons.
