D is for Dubai. But it’s not as musical as when Elmo, that monstrous master of the alphabet, sings it. The furry red muppet is heading to the city for a musical event like no other — and he’s bringing all his friends from Sesame Street.
Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music, to begin September 29 at the Madinat Jumeirah Theatre, will see monsters make music as Elmo, Abby Cadabby and Big Bird attempt to start a band. Their friends join in as the muppets discover ‘instruments’ they never knew existed… pots and spoons, trash can lids, and even cookie jars.
Each Sesame Street Live production features lessons for all ages, say organisers. Through the razzle-dazzle of this musical Broadway-quality musical production, children will learn about patience, acceptance and teamwork. Elmo Makes Music will feature many songs, including classics such as C Is for Cookie, The Alphabet Song, The Hustle, You Should Be Dancing and Rockin’ Robin.
The show will run until October 4. Tickets go on sale in August at elmodubai.com.
