Sesame Street Live is in Pittsburgh at the CONSOL Energy Center this weekend. It’s not too late. There are still shows at 1 PM and 4:30 PM on Sunday January 15 available. If you wanna go, save yourself some money and buy the tickets through Pittsburgh Kids Guide and save $3 when you purchase your tickets.
I was able to go to the show tonight (Saturday Jan. 14) for the 5:30 PM show. We got there early, found parking right across the street and got our seats quickly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had 4 tickets. I took my toddler as well as my sister and her toddler.
“Elmo’s Super Heroes” is about Super Grover losing his “super”. The fun live show sends a great message about eating right, proper hygiene, getting enough sleep, and exercise. Most of everyone’s favorite characters were involved: Elmo, Zoe, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Abby Cadabby, and more.
We had good seats. From the minute the show started until it ended the show engaged both my 2 1/2 year old son and my 2 1/2 year old niece. It’s 90 minutes of singing, dancing, and fun but valuable lessons. They encouraged audience participation many times throughout the show. There is a 15 minute intermission at the half way point. I really didn’t know how our toddlers would do with a 90 minute show in elbow to elbow seats but they were both so into it. At intermission my son looked at me and said “Again, Again”. I told him we just needed to take a break and we’d be back. Then after the show was over, he said the same thing.
Here’s a pic of how engaged our toddlers were. They would hardly sit in their seats. They were standing and watching, dancing, and jumping. They really enjoyed themselves.
I think everyone else did too.
I would definitely see the show. It was such a fun experience. The CONSOL Energy Center is a great venue. I’ve seen several different events there since it opened. It’s easy to find in Pittsburgh and lots of parking available.
Tickets prices are $14, $18, $24 then there’s $34 dollars for the Gold Circle and $80 for the Sunny Seats that include a VIP meet and greet with 2 characters before the show. Again, if you wanna save yourself some money, buy your tickets through Pittsburgh Kids Guide and save $3.
***I was provided 4 free tickets from USFamilyGuide.com and PittsburghKidsGuide.com in order to complete a review and help spread the word about this great show. I did not receive any monetary compensation. Any opinions expressed are my own.***
