"Elmo's Healthy Heroes" in Long Beach June 10-12

Calling all super heroes! Super Grover needs your help – and it is Elmo and the Fabulous Five to the rescue when “Elmo’s Healthy Heroes” zoom into the Terrace Theater/Long Beach Performing Arts Center from Friday, June 10 through Sunday, June 12, 2011. With seven shows scheduled this fun-filled musical is a presentation of VEE Corporation.

Join Elmo, Zoe, Abby Cadabby, Telly Monster, and Zoe’s pet rock Rocco for Sesame Street Live “Elmo’s Healthy Heroes.” When Super Grover loses his superness, Sesame Street needs a hero! Never fear, Elmo and his team of Healthy Heroes are here. Teaching lessons of healthy habits through song and dance, Elmo, Abby Cadabby, and your favorite Sesame Street friends will explore exercise, nutrition, sleep/energy and hygiene – all in a quest to put the “super” back in Super Grover. It’s Elmo’s Healthy Heroes to the rescue!

The musical 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 Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the dazzle of this full-blown Broadway-quality show, the production will teach children lessons in healthy habits that they can use long after the show ends. Adults will appreciate the universal appeal of Sesame Street Live, the high-tech stagecraft, and cleverly written scripts.

“What better way to teach children healthy eating habits at a young age then by song,” said Dan Spellens, Director of Theaters & Entertainment for the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center. "It is a pleasure to welcome a VEE Corporation production yet again," he concluded.
