Rockefeller Productions and Sesame Workshop have announced the world premiere of the new stage production: Sesame Street: The Musical, in New York. Sesame Street's beloved furry friends will appear in their original puppet form in an Off-Broadway musical, with previews starting September 8, 2022. Opening night is set for September 22 and will run through November 27, 2022. Performances will take place at Theater Row, 410 West 42nd Street.

Sesame Street's very own Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Grover, Rosita, Bert, Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, The Count, Gabrielle, and a host of Honkers, Martians, and other favorites will appear onstage in their very own musical. Special guest stars from Broadway and beyond will join the gang, with the show featuring Sesame Street's classic songs--plus new numbers created especially for this production by Broadway's brightest composers and songwriters. The show is directed and produced by Jonathan Rockefeller.

Any idea who's writing the new songs? I know Bo Burnham was attached to write music for a Sesame Street movie.

Hehehe...I'd be very curious to feed "Sesame Muppets" into one of those AI-photo generators...

I enjoyed Winnie the Pooh and decided to give this a shot. I thought the night show would be a more adult crowd.

And then a family in the front row thought it was ok to let their 3 year old kid go on the stage in the middle of a number

which is when I realized my mistake and wished I saved my money.
