Description:

Sesame Street Live “Elmo’s Green Thumb” performs at Shea’s Performing Arts Center through Sunday, March 14th!  Elmo has raised his sunflower, Sunny, from a seed, but his floral friend has outgrown the flower pot.  Elmo and friends find Big Bird’s garden the ideal place for Sunny to flourish and grow but they are too excited to wait.  Rather than let Sunny follow nature’s course, Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street’s fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make Sunny grow.  The spell does just the opposite and instead of growing, Elmo and all of his friends shrink!  While Abby searches for just the right words to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe, Telly and friends explore Big Bird’s garden from a smaller perspective and learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in our ecosystem - from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor.  Will being small help Sunny grow tall?  It’s a fresh, original Sesame Street Live on a whole new scale! 

Performances will take place Saturday, March 13th at 10:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 14th at 1:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.  Tickets are priced at $15.00, $17.00 and $20.00.  A limited number of $27.00 Gold Circle seats are also available.  A facility fee of $1.00 will be added to all ticket prices.  To charge by phone, call Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000 or visit www.ticketmaster.com.  Shea’s Performing Arts Center is located at 646 Main Street and for more information, call 716/847-1410 or visit www.sheas.org.
