The most famous street in childhood history came to DeKalb Tuesday and Wednesday evening when Sesame Street Live, “Super Grover, Ready For Action,” performed at the Convocation Center.

Not long after Bert worked at convincing Ernie to “shake his groove thing,” their fine-feathered friend Big Bird hit the stage, along with the rest of the cast. The show then kicked off with the first musical number, being none other than the Sesame Street theme song.

Big Bird was decked out in his best attire for the show – a tie. But the big yellow bird was not the center of attention. The focus was on Super Grover, who flew onto the set and fell flat seconds later. He had lost his super powers.

The Fabulous Five, consisting of Triangle Boy and Muchacha Fantastica to name a few, then helped Super Grover to regain his superness by teaching him lessons. Each lesson dealt with an area of hygiene, from showering to getting an ample amount of sleep.

Super Grover did a solo song about the disappointment he felt toward his inability to fly. The scenery had a celestial theme, which at one point had lights of stars shining up to the ceiling. Seven-year-old Zack Goule said, “I got two,” as the lights went over his seat.

After the intermission, many audience members were subject to the dozens of Elmo head balloons swaying above the chairs and obstructing others’ views.

Seven-year-old Lauren Hagelstein of DeKalb said Elmo is her favorite character.

“He’s red, and my favorite color is red.” Hagelstein said. “I like the Cookie Monster, too, because he eats cookies.”

By the end, the Fabulous Five combined all the lessons they taught throughout the show and applied them to Super Grover’s problem. Shortly after, he flew around the stage once again.

The cast joined in on its own rendition of James Brown’s “I Got You.” The cast sang, “Eat right, sleep tight, I feel good.”

This is the third year the show has been brought to the Convocation Center, said Kevin Selover , marketing director for the Convo Center.

“We’re always looking to expand,” Selover said.
