Sesame Street Live at ~2.5 years old?

[redheadbaker]

I have the opportunity to get cheap tickets to Sesame Street Live. Is this something a 2.5 year old would enjoy? He knows the characters, but I don't know if (A) they would freak him out or (B) if he could sit through the show.

Definitely! Especially if they are cheap tickets. If you only make it through part, no biggie. I started taking my DS1 to these kind of shows at 15 mos (and DS 2 even earlier b/c he just got toted along). He has a short attention span, but they know their audience and how to keep them engaged. I think I have been to Sesame Street Live 4 times and never seen a kid that wasn't engaged.

We went to a kids concert when ds was 12 months. I was so worried for weeks beforehand that we'd made a huge mistake and he'd cry or squirm or babble and ruin for everybody. No worries - that's what everyone else in the audience was doing too! He didn't pay attention to the whole thing, but the parts he did he LOVED. It was so much fun, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Thanks, all! I got the tickets.

Have fun! We just took DD at 25mo. She loved it, but kept asking where Elmo, Ernie and Bert went when they were off stage. Clearly, she has favorites. DD was pretty good about sitting in her seat- the theater had boosters for the kids. We were also in the front row of the balcony. I think it would have been more chaotic on the floor.

Definitely bring snacks!

Have fun! My DD would love it!

We took DD at 20 months and she loved it. She was going through a phase of being scared of people in costumes but she reacted like she was seeing the Beatles.

That's a great age. Added bonus is most people there understand if the kid acts up.

We're going tomorrow! All my friends with even younger kids went today (18-24 months) during the day with playgroup. We've done Disney on ice two years in a row and DD1 loved it.

We're going tomorrow, too! We got 5:30 pm tickets since we have plans in the morning already.

Yes! My kids (and I won't lie - me too) loved it!
