Sesame Street live show for all the family

In 1998 the classic United States children's television program Sesame Street was first introduced to Shanghai audiences as a 130-episode series titled Zhima Jie. Like Mickey Mouse, and Tom and Jerry, Sesame Street characters have become popular cartoon figures among Chinese children.

This summer the longest-running children's show in US history and an Emmy Awards winner, will be revived once more with Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Green Thumb, which will tour the country for six weeks.

In Elmo's Green Thumb, Elmo, one of the show's main characters, tries to find a new home for Sunny, a sunflower that has grown in his garden. He experiences a number of amazing adventures together with Big Bird, Abby Cadabby, Teddy Bear, and Bert and Ernie. They get lots of help from the busy bees, finicky ladybug and an ill-tempered beetle.
