Elmo to entertain in South Bend

Published 8:01 am Friday, March 30, 2012

It’s Elmo and the Fabulous Five to the rescue when Sesame Street Live’s “Elmo’s Super Heroes” zooms into South Bend.

Join Elmo, Zoe, Abby Cadabby, Telly Monster and Zoe’s pet rock, Rocco, for this musical production at Morris Performing Arts Center, 211 North Michigan St. in South Bend, April 24-25.

When Super Grover loses his superness, Sesame Street needs a hero. Never fear, Elmo and his team of super heroes are here. Teaching lessons of healthy habits through song and dance, Elmo, Abby Cadabby and other favorite Sesame Street friends will explore exercise, nutrition, sleep/energy and hygiene – all in a quest to put the “super” back in Super Grover.

The program features an array of popular (and healthy!) songs, many of them renditions of tunes that parents will remember and kids will love: “Old MacDonald,” “Splish Splash,” “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and “Sunny Days.”  Like television’s “Sesame Street,” each production features timeless lessons for all ages.  Through the dazzle of this Broadway-quality show, the production will teach children lessons in healthy habits that they can use long after the show ends.  Adults will appreciate its universal appeal, the high-tech stagecraft and cleverly written scripts.

Tickets are $12, $15 and $20, plus facility fees.
