Special guest stars from Broadway and beyond will join Sesame Street's Abby Cadabby, Rosita, Bert, Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, The Count, and Gabrielle and many others.
The show will feature classic Sesame Street songs plus new ones created especially for this production.
The show is directed and produced by Jonathan Rockefeller. “We are so honored and proud to partner with Sesame Workshop to bring ‘Sesame Street’s’ first original Off-Broadway musical, along with its iconic characters, to the stage,” said Rockefeller. “We believe it will be a production for children and fans of ALL ages to embrace and enjoy.”
“As the world begins to open up, families and fans are looking forward to live, high-quality in-person experiences with their favorite brands, and Sesame Workshop is answering the call with the expansion of our themed entertainment offerings,” said Jennifer Ahearn, vice president of strategic partnerships and themed entertainment at Sesame Workshop. “With its critically-acclaimed productions and keen eye for presenting beloved stories, we’re thrilled to collaborate with Rockefeller Productions on a stage show that will have the young and young-at-heart singing, dancing, and celebrating with their Sesame Street friends.”
Rockefeller Productions focuses on family entertainment and has mounted productions such as Disney’s Winnie the Pooh: The New Musical Stage Adaptation, Paddington Gets in a Jam and The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show.

We are pretty sure this stage show will feature the actual Muppets and their performers - NOT dancers in full body Muppet costumes, though more details have yet to be announced.
Previews for Sesame Street: The Musical start on September 8, 2022, with opening night set for September 22. The production will run at Theater Row, 410 West 42nd Street through November 27, 2022.
