On Saturday I took Michelle to see "Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Coloring Book" at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

Michelle is at that rare age where it's very easy to surprise her. I don't think she had any idea, after about an hour long trip to Hollywood, that we would be sitting about twenty feet away from Elmo and the entire Sesame Street gang.

Sure enough... she was in complete awe of the Sesame Street characters as they danced and sang about the stage. We had great seats too, third row! It definitely pays to check Ticketmaster for tickets about a week before any show.

The show itself was very energetic and the stage sets were especially vibrant. The music was probably the low-point in the show as there wasn't much there for the kids to identify with. In contrast with the Wiggles where the kids practically knew the words to all the songs. Still, that probably wasn't the point as this was much more of a musical that fit a specific story than a concert.

Best of all, it was really cute seeing the looks on all faces of the babies and toddlers in the audience. Michelle was certainly no exception. ;-)
