“There is only once place in Atlanta that seemed a natural fit to bring The Muppets from Sesame Street to the stage – and that’s the Center for Puppetry Arts,” says the show’s creator, Jonathan Rockefeller.

“We cannot wait for Sesame Street the Musical to take up residency here, and eagerly await our fans’ reactions when Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Gabrielle, and their other furry friends grace the Atlanta stage.”

The musical features beloved Sesame Street characters like those mentioned above, plus Grover, Rosita, Bert, Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, The Count, and more – in their original puppet forms – singing both classic songs from the long-running children’s TV series in the U.S., as well as new songs written for the production by songwriters Tom Kitt (Almost Famous), Tony nominee Helen Park (KPOP), and Nate Edmondson.

VIP Tickets are also available if you'd like a photo opp and meet & greet with the Honkers, a 70+ page commemorative program book featuring exclusive show content, and a collectible VIP Lanyard. Call the ticket office to arrange this; it is an additional $25 per ticket.

Guests with sensory sensitivities (such as Autism Spectrum Disorder) and other developmental differences are invited to enjoy the performances in a fun, comfortable, and welcoming environment on June 23 at 1pm or 3:30pm.
