Elmo and friends to visit Bob Carpenter Center

4:55 p.m., March 4, 2011----Elmo, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie and their friends will visit UD when Sesame Street Live comes to the Bob Carpenter Center for seven performances from April 21-24. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m., Monday, March 14.

The musical show, “1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo and Friends,” begins when Sesame Street's mail carrier, Sam, stops by to deliver special postcards from far-away places. When Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and friends wish they could visit the exciting locations, Sam shares her secret on how they can -- by using their imaginations. The result? Ernie takes to the high seas to captain the “Good Ship Rubber Duckie,” Elmo dances to the rhythms of the African rain forest and Bert meets an octopus who has the blues.
