t i t a n s , SESAME, ACTION!
What does it take to make Sesa­
me Street Live come to life? A lot
goes on behind the scenes before
“ Let’s Be Friends” comes to Port­
land for its eight-performance en­
gagement at the Portland Memorial
Coliseum.
A ll divisions o f Vee Corpora­
tion work together to create the Ses­
ame Street Live stage extravaganzas.
From stitching and sewing at Cos­
tumes & Creatures to welding and
painting at VEE Production Services
to booking and marketing at the home
office, more than 300 people work
for six months with a $1.5 m illion
budget before the curtain lifts on
another edit ion o f Sesame Street Live.
To entertain more than 28 m illion
people over the past 15 years, VEE
Corporation has produced 20 d iffe r­
ent live musical stage shows.
What’ s the result o f this hard
work? Twenty miles o f cable for
sound and lights, 50 props, 15 paint­
ed drops, 16,000 lights and dozens o f
performers making hundreds o f cos­
tume changes come together to bring
you a 90-m:nute extravaganza o f sing­
ing, dancing and fun with the be­
loved Sesame Street Live Muppets.
This year’s brand new produc­
tion, “ Let’s Be Friends,” is the hap­
piest o f stories about making friends
and being a true friend. Join Big
Bird, Snuffy and all their Sesame
Street Live buddies as Elmo and Zoe
start a friendship club and learn that
friends come in all colors, shapes and
sizes.
During the 1994-95 season, more
than 100 people w ill travel with the
three different Sesame Street Live
shows touring the country. Each show
Sesame Street Live presents "Let's Be Friends" featuring Big Bird,
Elmo, Snuffy and Zoe.
w ill log more than 20,000 miles from
Los Angeles to Dallas to New York
C ity, stopping at nearly 150 large
and small cities in between. With
900 shows to perform during the 10-
month tour season, two m illion peo­
ple w ill see Sesame Street Live this
year.
The outcome? The thousands o f
fan letters Sesame Street Live re­
ceives remind us o f the magic the
characters bring to children o f all
ages:
D e a rC o o kie M onster: I wish
I could be on stage w ith you. I
w ill see you next tim e you come.
I love you. (Joseph, Age 4, T o le ­
do, O H )
Dear Big Bird: I like your show.
It was great. W ill you ever have it
again? I love you. (Courtney, Age 6,
Martinez, G A)
Dear C o o k ie M o n ste r and
Grover: You were very good. So
good I give you 100%. (Brianne,
Age 8, Livonia, M l)
