Sesame’s Treats

By Dominic Sirianni

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street…or at least to the Broward Center for Performing Arts (201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale)? That’s where you’ll find a happy-go-lucky collection of musical actors, all portraying the fabled fantasy world where puppets pop out of trashcans and occasionally break into song.

Either you love and remember it from those halcyon, pre-cable days, or the ´Street dredges up memories from a much more recent foray into child care management – i.e. this morning’s struggle with your little guy/gal before school. Either might be enough to make you secretly smile through Sesame Street Live! Elmo Makes Music! This show is an interactive bonanza, complete with hand clapping, foot stomping, trash can banging, and even the lovable squeaking of the proverbial rubber ducky which all sounds like either (a) Dante’s little known 8th level of hell or (b) a right good family fun time. If you guessed the latter, then get ready for some Sesame. If you fall into the former, then you might consider not procreating. The show runs Friday through Sunday. Tickets cost $10 to $36. Call 954-462-0222, or visit www.browardcenter.org for showtimes and tickets.
