MANKATO — Sesame Street Live productions has much to celebrate this year: 30 years and 100 tours.
Sesame Street Live’s tour of “1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends” stops in Mankato for three shows Tuesday and Wednesday.
The show begins with Sesame Street’s mail carrier, Sam, who stops by to deliver special postcards from far-away places. When Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and friends want to visit the exciting locations, Sam shares her secret on how they can. It’s as easy as counting “1-2-3 Imagine!” she says.
Ernie’s imagination takes him to the high seas to captain the “Good Ship Rubber Duckie,” Elmo dances to the rhythm of the African rainforest, and Bert meets an octopus who has the blues.
Each show includes high-tech stagecraft and recognizable music through songs such as “I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon,” “She’ll Be Comin’ ’Round the Mountain” and “Surfin’ Safari.”
