This article was on my local newspaper's website this morning. Don't know if anyone else has heard this, I didn't look to see if anyone else already reported this - if so, mods can merge the thread. I just thought this was interesting and wanted to share! If this does open here in Minneapolis, you can believe I'll be there!

*blink!* Well that seems VERY interesting and sounds extremely promising! I'd love to hear more about this!

I know! I guess when these guys did Frog and Toad, it got alot of awards and such, so they must know what they are doing! I'll keep watching for more news on it!

Wow, awesomeness! Looks really interesting, I hope to hear more about it sometime! Thanks, Redboobergurl!

I will keep you all posted when I hear more about it! I am definitely getting a ticket when it opens!

I'm interested to see what the difference is between SS as a stage musical, and SS Live...

Me too Beau. For starters, I know that Ernie and Bert will be actual humans and not people dressed up in Ernie and Bert costumes. So that will definitely be interesting!

Not sure about how I feel about this, but it does look interesting.

I understand what you mean Bryan, it sounds interesting and yet, worry if it will detract from the integrity of the characters we've grown to love as puppets...

Exactly.

Oh! I get it. The picture n the article was slightly missleading then. This WILL be interesting.

Also, I don't know that it will take from the integrity of the characters, as it will never be officially canon. More like, some people decided they liked SS and put on a show about it. Ish.

Hey guys, David Beukema saw the new Sesame Street musical and wrote a review of it:

I saw that! I am still hoping to get a chance to see it myself, not too often I get lucky enough to do something like this here in the Midwest, like David says in his review.
