Sunny Days and Super Heroes: Sesame Street Live at Stabler Arena

Did you grow up watching PBS? Do you have children anywhere between the ages of two and four? If so, I would encourage you to get tickets to see Sesame Street Live. My daughter and I recently attended "Elmo's Super Heroes" at Stabler Arena, Lehigh University, and loved seeing our Sesame Street friends live on stage.

The show is filled with characters you already know and love, as well as iconic Sesame Street music and catchy, new songs. Here is an overview of Elmo's Super Heroes directly from the Sesame Street Live website:

Everyone's favorite Sesame Street friends.

"Super Grover has lost his super-ness and Sesame Street needs a hero! Never fear, the fabulous five Super Heroes are here -- featuring Elmo as Captain Fuzzy!  Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all their friends are on a quest to put the “super” back in Super Grover.  Singing and dancing their way through fun lessons on healthy habits, they discover how exercise, rest, nutritious food and good hygiene can save Super Grover -- and turn your children into Super Heroes, too!  You’ll be feeling good when Elmo’s Super Heroes comes to town!"

Meet & greet with Bert and Elmo before the show.

My one recommendation is this: if you can splurge ... go for the good seats. At Stabler Arena, the characters walked through the aisles of the floor seats, giving the kids and up close encounter with some of their favorite Sesame Street characters, including Abby Caddaby, Cookie Monster, Zoe and more. While the mezzanine level seats were good, we both would have loved to have been closer to the action.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR LATER THIS SPRING

Elmo, Big Bird, Telly and the rest of the neighborhood will be back -- in and around our area -- later this spring.

As a mom who grew up watching and loving Sesame Street, honestly, I felt a little nostalgic. Big Bird has and probably always will be one of my favorite characters, but that Elmo ... I can certainly see why the little ones love him! La la la la ...
