SESAME STREET LIVE
Can’t Stop Singing
When Elmo gets his furry fingers on Abby Cadabby’s magic wand, there’s something in the air – and Sesame Street becomes a nonstop, all-singing, all-dancing musical montage. Grover and Baby Bear sing their highs and lows, Cookie Monster sings fast and slow, Bert and Ernie converse in song, and Murray makes mouth music for all to sing along. Learn why it feels good to sing a song but why it feels good to stop, too. What will Elmo learn about the power of musical magic? Join the conga line of fun to find out. For more information, please visit www.kravis.org/sesame.

Flames of Desire
