Sesame Street comes to life

Calling all super heroes!

Super Grover needs your help — and it’s Elmo and the Fabulous Five to the rescue when a new “Sesame Street Live” musical production comes to Long Island this month.

Join Elmo, Zoe, Abby Cadabby, Telly Monster and Zoe’s pet rock, Rocco, for “Elmo’s Healthy Heroes” at Nassau Coliseum from Sept. 16 through Sept. 19.

When Super Grover loses his super powers, Sesame Street needs a hero. Good thing Elmo and his team of Healthy Heroes are here. Teaching lessons of healthy habits through song and dance, Elmo, Abby Cadabby and other Sesame Street friends explore exercise, nutrition, sleep and hygiene — all in a quest to put the “super” back in Super Grover.

The show features an array of popular songs, including renditions of “Old MacDonald,” “Splish Splash,” “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and “Sunny Days.”

And like television’s “Sesame Street,” each “Sesame Street Live” production wouldn’t be complete without a lesson for all. In this case, kids will learn the value of healthy habits that they can use long after the show ends. Adults will already be in the know, but can still enjoy a visit from the Sesame Street gang.

Sesame Street Live “Elmo’s Healthy Heroes” at Nassau Coliseum [1255 Hempstead Turnpike near Glenn Curtiss Boulevard in Uniondale, (516) 794-9300], Sept. 16–19. Tickets $18.50–$103.50. For info, visit www.sesamestreetlive.com
