Coming to the Glens Falls Civic Center Tuesday, April 5 and Wednesday, April 6
GLENS FALLS, N.Y. - Where will imagination take you when you close your eyes and count to three? Anywhere you want to be! Children and their families are invited to help make a world of adventure come to life with Elmo, Rosita, Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Street Live friends in VEE Corporation’s “1-2-3... Imagine!” This imagination-inspired musical will transport you to faraway places when the show makes a stop at the Glens Falls Civic Center on April 5 and 6. Tickets for three fun-filled performances go on sale Monday, February 28 at 10:00 a.m.
Children of all ages will be mesmerized by this 90-minute magical journey that begins when Samantha (“Sam”), the mail carrier, visits Sesame Street to deliver special postcards to the furry residents of the block. Knowing her Muppet friends miss their pen pals, Sam shares her secret to visiting distant places: use your imagination! It’s as easy as counting 1-2-3! With a little help from her friends, Rosita finds herself in Mexico with her abuela (grandma) for a special birthday fiesta! Ernie becomes Captain of the Good Ship Rubber Duckie and Elmo finds his rhythm playing the drums in an African rainforest. “1-2-3...Imagine!” teaches children practical lessons such as counting, appreciation of other languages and cultures and, most importantly, the power of imagination.
Like television’s Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the razzle-dazzle of a full-blown Broadway-quality production, children learn about patience, cooperation and teamwork. The universal appeal of a Sesame Street Live experience continues long after preschool. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written scripts, and music they’ll recognize from their childhood. “1-2-3...Imagine!” features nearly two dozen songs, including many renditions of tunes that parents will remember and kids will love: “Surfin’ Safari,” “She’ll Be Comin’ Around the Mountain” and “Camp Wanna-Go-Home.”
VEE Corporation produces Sesame Street Live in cooperation with Sesame Workshop, a non-profit educational organization. Sesame Workshop created a learning revolution with Sesame Street, and continues to break new ground with children’s media that’s as engaging as it is educational. Each presentation of Sesame Street Live features the original character voices heard on the award-winning public television program. Costumes, scripts and sets are created in conjunction with Sesame Workshop to maintain the highest standards of authenticity and integrity.
This year marked another exemplary year of recognition for the Sesame Street television show. Sesame Street won six Daytime Emmy Awards, including “Outstanding Preschool Children's Series” for the tenth consecutive year! Other Emmy Awards include:
- “Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design”
- “Outstanding Achievement in Multiple Camera Editing”
- “Outstanding Achievement in Technical Direction/Electronic Camera/Video Control”
- “Outstanding Achievement in Main Title Design”
- “Outstanding Achievement in Hairstyling”
The National Television Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has honored Sesame Street with 97 Emmy Awards - more than any other television show in history!
