Family Guide to Sesame Street Live! Say Hello: Dates, Tickets, Live Show Tips & More

The Sesame Street Live! Say Hello Tour is on the road now. For Sesame Street‘s anniversary (Nov. 10), Billboard Family has put together a complete guide for families interested in seeing the classic Sesame Street characters live on stage.

Whether you’re thinking of going to the latest Sesame Street Live! theatrical production because Sesame Street is your kid’s favorite show, or you’re just feeling nostalgic over your own childhood memories, here you’ll find a preview of what to expect before attending one of the dates. We’ve gathered all the details for families, and we connected with Jonathan Linden and Stephen Shaw, founders and co-presidents of Round Room Live, the current tour’s production company.

Eight years ago Linden and Shaw, with a long background in concert touring, looked at the live children’s entertainment market from the perspective of parents and saw an opportunity to create more dynamic experiences for both kids and their grownups.

They launched Round Room Live, which today puts on live theatrical tours like Sesame Street Live! Say Hello and Blippi: Join the Band.

“We really put our attention into the producing of the shows: great script writers, great choreographers, great costume designers and fabricators, a great soundtrack and music, and high production value that would keep kids engaged and entertained,” Shaw explained to Billboard Family in a previous conversation about the company.

This tour has Round Room Live collaborating with Sesame Workshop. Round Room, who says Sesame Workshop initially reached out to have a conversation about the production company taking over their live theatrical tours, notes: “We are incredibly proud that our experience in this space and the reputation Round Room has built in the industry would lead us to such an iconic brand like Sesame Street seeking us to partner with them.”

Sesame Street is a brand that is more than 50 years old and has thrilled and delighted generations of children and families. Round Room was committed to respecting the deep history and tradition of Sesame Street, but we were excited to take a fresh new look at this property in the live touring space, and create something modern and extraordinarily special that families and kids could enjoy,” Round Room Live tells Billboard Family on the week of Sesame Street‘s anniversary.
