    WHEN ELMO GROWS UP- Sesame Street: Saturday, May 10th (10:30 a.m., 2 p.m. & 5:30 p.m.) and Sunday, May 11th, (1 p.m. & 4:30 p.m.), Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR

    "WHEN ELMO GROWS UP"

    Favorite Friends Plan Their Pageant - and Their Future -in Portland

    PORTLAND, Ore. - Introducing Abby Cadabby! The newest Muppet on Sesame Street joins Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and all of her furry and feathered friends in asking, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' as they prepare for a pageant on Sesame Street. Get ready to sing cowboy songs, ride the rails and more when Sesame Street Live "When Elmo Grows Up" performs at the Memorial Coliseum from Friday, May 9 through Sunday, May 11. Tickets for five performances go on sale Monday, March 24 at 10 a.m. The 2007-08 Sesame Street Live tour season is sponsored by Beaches Resorts, the Caribbean's #1 ultra all-inclusive luxury resorts for families featuring exclusive year-round fun with your friends from Sesame Street.


    When Elmo and his Sesame Street Live friends think about growing up, it's a musical show-and-tell! Bert dreams of becoming a forest ranger, Telly longs to be a cowboy and their newest friend, Abby Cadabby, wants to be a Fairy Godmother just like her mommy. Elmo thinks about becoming a 'weather monster,' but has a hard time predicting his own forecast-he wants to be anything and everything all at once! "When Elmo Grows Up" includes lessons on perseverance, teamwork and the power of imagination. Children learn that if they believe in themselves and are willing to try, the possibilities are endless.

    Like television's Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. Through the razzle-dazzle of this musical Broadway-quality production, children learn about patience, acceptance and teamwork. The universal appeal of a Sesame Street Live production continues long after preschool. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written scripts, and music they'll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as "Home on the Range," "Down on the Corner" and "Give a Little Love." "When Elmo Grows Up" features nearly two dozen songs, including classics that children will love to sing along with such as "I Love Trash" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider."

    Tickets: $12, $15 and $20. A limited number of $28 Gold Circle seats are also available. Additional fees and discounts may apply. Tickets can be purchased at the Rose Quarter Box Office, all participating Safeway/ Tickets West outlets, by calling 877.789.ROSE (7673), or at ComcastTIX.com. For Groups of 10+ please call 503.963.4400. For more information please visit RoseQuarter.com or Sesamestreetlive.com.

    *OPB Benefit Premiere Performance on Friday, May 9 at 7 p.m. For more information call 800-245-2346 or visit www.opb.org/tickets.
