Odessa Jackalopes News Release


(Odessa, TX) - The Odessa Jackalopes and VEE Corporation are proud to raise the curtain on the 30th season of its world renowned Sesame Street Live touring productions. As the live stage show licensee of Sesame Workshop (the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street), VEE will present Abby Cadabby, the newest Muppet on Sesame Street, along with Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and all of her furry and feathered friends as they ask, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Get ready to sing cowboy songs, ride the rails and more when Sesame Street Live - "When Elmo Grows Up" performs at the Ector County Coliseum on Tuesday, Dec. 1 and Wednesday, Dec. 2.

Tickets for all three performances go on sale Monday, Oct. 19 at 10:00 AM.

When Elmo and his Sesame Street Live friends think about growing up, it's a musical show-and-tell! Bert dreams of becoming a forest ranger, Telly longs to be a cowboy and their newest friend, Abby Cadabby, wants to be a Fairy Godmother just like her mommy. Elmo thinks about becoming a "weather monster", but has a hard time predicting his own forecast-"When Elmo Grows Up" includes lessons on perseverance, teamwork and the power of imagination. Children learn that if they believe in themselves and are willing to try, the possibilities are endless.

Like television's Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the razzle-dazzle of this musical Broadway-quality musical production, children learn about patience, acceptance and teamwork. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written scripts, and music they'll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as "Home on the Range," "Down on the Corner" and "Give a Little Love". "When Elmo Grows Up" features nearly two dozen songs, including classics that children will love to sing along with such as "I Love Trash" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider."
