30 YEARS, 100 TOURS OF "SUNNY DAYS"!

VEE Corporation Sets the Stage to Present the
100th Tour of Sesame Street Live

"1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends" opens on Dec. 17 at the Patriot Center

VEE Corporation is proud to raise the curtain for the 30th season of its world renowned Sesame Street Live touring productions. As the live stage show licensee of Sesame Workshop (the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street), VEE will present its 100th tour in Fairfax when the stage lights come up on "1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends". The show plays the Patriot Center from Thursday, Dec. 17 through Sunday, Dec. 20. Tickets for all seven performances go on sale Monday, Nov. 9 at 10 a.m.

The magical journey begins as Sesame Street's mail carrier, Sam, stops by to deliver special postcards from far-away places. When Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and friends wish to visit the exciting locations, Sam shares her secret on how they can - it's as easy as counting "1-2-3 Imagine!" Ernie's imagination takes him to the high seas to captain the 'Good Ship Rubber Duckie', Elmo dances to the rhythm of the African rainforest and Bert meets an octopus who has the blues. It's a story of adventure and fun that teaches children they can be anyone, do anything and go anywhere with the power of imagination.

Like television's Sesame Street, each Sesame Street Live production features timeless lessons for all ages. The universal appeal of each Broadway-quality musical production continues long after preschool. Adults will appreciate the high-tech stagecraft, cleverly written script, and music they'll recognize and enjoy sharing with children, such as "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon," "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" and "Surfin' Safari."
